    In a p-n junction diode not connected to any circuit

    A) the potential is same everywhere

    B) The p-type side is at a higher potential than the n-type side

    C) there is an electric field at the junction directed from the n-side to the p-type side.

    D) there is an electric field at the junction directed from the p-type side to the n-type side.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    A depletion layer or a potential barrier is formed at the junction with n-side at higher potential. Electric field at junction is directed from n-side to p-side.
