Can the potential barrier across a p-n junction be measured by simply connecting a voltmeter across the junction? |
|
Answer» No, because the voltmeter to be used to measure potential difference across the p-n junction must have a very high resistance as compared to junction resistance, which is nearly infinite, if not biased. Apart from it, there are no free charge carriers in the depletion region of p-n junction. |
