The potential barrier in \(\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}\) junction diode is due to
- A depletion of positive charges near the junction.
- B accumulation of positive charges near the junction.
- C depletion of negative charges near the junction.
- D accumulation of positive and negative charges near the junction.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) accumulation of positive and negative charges near the junction.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
