The correct Answer is:
To find the electric field (E) across a p-n junction with a given depletion layer thickness (d) and potential (V), we can use the formula: \[ E = \frac{V}{d} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Thickness of the depletion layer, \( d = 10^{-6} \) m - Potential across the depletion layer, \( V = 0.3 \) V 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ E = \frac{V}{d} = \frac{0.3 \, \text{V}}{10^{-6} \, \text{m}} \] 3. **Calculate the electric field**: \[ E = \frac{0.3}{10^{-6}} = 0.3 \times 10^{6} \, \text{V/m} \] \[ E = 3 \times 10^{5} \, \text{V/m} \] 4. **Final Result**: The electric field across the depletion layer is \( E = 3 \times 10^{5} \, \text{V/m} \). ### Conclusion: The correct option for the electric field is option 2: \( 3 \times 10^{5} \, \text{V/m} \).
