In the depletion region of a diode.

A

there are no mobile charges

B

equal number of holes and elections exist, making the regin neutal

C

recombination of holes and electrons has taken place

D

immobile charged ions exist.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C:D
The space-charge regions on both the sides of `p - n` junction which has immobile ions and entirely lacking of any charge carries will form a region called depletion region of a diode. The number of ionized acceptors on the `p-`side equal the number of ionized donors on the `n-`side
