The depletion layer in \(\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}\) junction region is caused by

  1. A drift of electrons.
  2. B migration of impurity ions.
  3. C diffusion of charge carries.
  4. D drift of holes.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) diffusion of charge carries.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct option is C diffusion of charge carriers
Due to the large concentration of electrons in N -side and holes in P -side, they diffuses from their own side to other side when giving biasing. Hence depletion region produces.
