Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 49.(d)
Solution:
- (d) Depletion layer is formed by diffusion of holes and electrons from $p$-type semiconductor to $n$-type semiconductor and vice-versa. Hence, donor and acceptor atom get positive and negative charge leading to formation of $p-n$ junction. The donor and acceptor are immobile.
