    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.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct. Explanation: The diffusion of charge carriers across a junction takes place from the regions of higher concentration to 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.
