Question:

In an unbiased p-n junction, holes diffuse from the p-region to n-region because

Options:

free electrons in the n-region attract them

they move across the junction due to the potential difference

hole concentration in p-region is more as compared to n-region (due to concentration gradient)

hole concentration in n-region is more as compared to p-region

Correct Answer:

hole concentration in p-region is more as compared to n-region (due to concentration gradient)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → hole concentration in p-region is more as compared to n-region (due to concentration gradient)
