Depletion region in an unbiased semiconductor diode is a region consisting of
Depletion region in an unbiased semiconductor diode is a region consisting of
Updated On: Dec 26, 2024
- both free electrons and holes
- neither free electrons nor holes
- only free electrons
- only holes
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In an unbiased semiconductor diode, the depletion region is formed where the free electrons and holes recombine, resulting in a region with no free charge carriers. This is a key characteristic of the depletion region in a p-n junction diode.
