One part of a device is connected to the negative terminal of a battery and the other part is connected to the positive terminal of a battery. If their ends are now altered, current does not flow in circuit. The device is:
1. P-N Junction
2. Transistor
3. Zener diode
4. Triode
The cause of potential barrier in a P-N junction diode is:
1. | Concentration of positive and negative ions near the junction. |
2. | Concentration of positive charges near the junction. |
3. | Depletion of negative charges near the junction. |
4. | Increment in concentration of holes and electrons near the junction. |
The depletion layer has (for an unbiased \(p-n\) junction):
1. electrons
2. holes
3. static ions
4. neutral atoms

2. \(\frac{5}{50}~\text{A}\)
3. \(\frac{5}{10}~\text{A}
\)
4. \(\frac{5}{20}~\text{A}\)
What is the correct statement regarding a p-n junction:
