Depletion layer in the p-n junction consists of

A

electrons

B

holes

C

positive and negative ions fixed in their position

D

both electron and holes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Depletion layer in the p-n junction is delpleted of charge carrirers i.e, electrons and holes and therefore consists of positive and negative ions fixed in their position .
