In a p-n junction diode not connected to any circuit |
|
a) |
The potential is the same everywhere |
b) |
The p-type side has a higher potential than the -type side |
c) |
There is an electric field at the junction directed from the -type side to -type side |
d) |
There is an electric field at the junction directed from the -type side to -type side |

(c)
At junction a potential barrier/depletion layer is formed with -side at higher potential and -side at lower potential. Therefore, there is an electric field at the junction directed from the -side to -side.
