    In an unbiased p-n junction at 300 K
    Question

    In an unbiased p-n junction at 300 K

    A.

    the diffusion as well as drift currents vanishes everywhere.

    B.

    the diffusion and drift currents cancel each other.

    C.

    the electric potential vanishes everywhere.

    D.

    the electric field vanishes everywhere.​

    Correct option is B


    Correct answer is B
    Explanation:
    An unbiased p-n junction has a built-in electric field due to the formation of a depletion region. This electric field causes drift current, while the carrier concentration gradient causes diffusion current. These two currents are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, leading to their cancellation in equilibrium conditions.
