Which of the following is true in case of the unbiased p-n junction?(a) The high potential at n-side and low potential at p-side(b) The high potential at p-side and low potential at n-side(c) p and n both are at the same potential(d) UndeterminedI got this question during an online exam.My enquiry is from Semiconductor Electronics topic in chapter Semiconductor Electronics : Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (a) The high POTENTIAL at n-side and low potential at p-side

The EXPLANATION: In an UNBIASED p-n junction, the high potential is at the n-side and the low potential at the p-side. When the polarity of the battery is REVERSED, the p-n junction gets reverse biased and does not conduct electric CURRENT.
