Semiconductor Electronics Materials Devices And Simple Circuits Ques 1

1. In a $p-n$ junction

[2002]

(a) The potential of the $p$ and $n$-sides becomes higher alternately

(b) The $p$-side is at higher electrical potential than the $\mathrm{n}$ side

(c) The $n$-side is at higher electrical potential than the $p$-side

(d) Both the $p$ and $n$-sides are at the same potential

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1.(b)

Solution: (b) For conduction, $p-n$ junction must be forward biased. For conduction $p$-side should be connected to higher potential and $n$-side to lower potential.
