A potential barrier of 0.50 V exists in a p-n junction. If the depletion region is `5.0 xx 10^(-7)` m thick, what is the electric field in this region?

A

`1.0xx10^(6) V//m`

B

`1.0xx10^(5) V//m`

C

`2.0xx10^(5) V//m`

D

`2.0xx10^(6)V//m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`E=(V)/(d)=(0.5)/(5xx10^(-7))=10^(6) V//m`
