In a p-n junction, the depletion region is `2mu m` wide and an electric field of `1.0 xx 10^(5)V//m` exists in it.
Find the height of the potential barrier

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `d=2mu m= 2 xx 10^(-6)m`
`E= 1 xx 10^(5)V//m`
Potential barrier, `V= Ed`
`=1 xx 10^(5) xx 2 xx 10^(-6) = 0.2V`
