Question:
The current flowing from p to n side in a pn junction diode irrespective of biasing is termed:
The current flowing from p to n side in a pn junction diode irrespective of biasing is termed:
Show Hint
Diffusion current occurs due to the natural movement of charge carriers from a region of high concentration to low concentration.

- Drift current
- Diffusion current
- Net current
- Displacement current
- Biasing current
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In a pn junction diode, charge carriers (electrons and holes) diffuse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration, leading to the diffusion current. This current exists even without an external bias due to the natural movement of carriers across the junction.
