If the two ends of a p-n junction are joined by a wire:
- A there will be a steady current from the n-side to the p-side
- B There will be a steady current from the p-side to the n-side
- C there will not be a steady current in the circuit
- D There must be a steady current
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) There must be a steady current
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When you connect the ends of a p-n junction with a wire without an external battery, the system is in thermal equilibrium. While there is an internal "built-in" potential at the junction, any potential difference is canceled out by the contact potentials where the wire meets the…

- Read the passage and answer the question given below.
When a host is exposed to antigens, which may be in the form of living or dead microbes or other proteins, antibodies are produced in the host body. This type of immunity is called active immunity. Active immunity is slow and takes time to give its full effective response. Injecting the microbes deliberately during immunisation or infectious organisms gaining access into body during natural infection induce active immunity. When antibodies are directly given to protect the body against foreign agents, it is called passive immunity.
