To determine which statement is not true for a p-n junction, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the p-n Junction**: A p-n junction is formed when p-type and n-type semiconductors are joined together. The p-type has an abundance of holes (positive charge carriers), while the n-type has an abundance of electrons (negative charge carriers). **Hint**: Recall the basic structure of a p-n junction and the charge carriers involved. ...
