In an unbiased p-n junction, holes diffuse from the p-region to n-region because(a) free electrons in the n-region attract them.(b) they move across the junction by the potential difference.(c) hole concentration in p-region is more as compared to n-region.(d) All the above.

Answer»

The correct statement is (c).
The diffusion of charge carriers across a junction takes place from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. In this case, the p-region has greater concentration of holes than the n-region. Hence, in an unbiased p-n junction, holes diffuse from the p-region to the n-region
