The depletion layer has large electrical resistance because:

  1. A It contains few ions as charge carriers.
  2. B It has few holes as charge carriers.
  3. C It has no charge carriers.
  4. D It contains few electrons as charge carriers.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) It has no charge carriers.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The depletion layer is "depleted" of mobile charge carriers because free electrons and holes near the junction have recombined. Since there are no free carriers (electrons or holes) to move and conduct current, this region acts as a high-resistance barrier. C) It has no charge…
