The dominant mechanisms for motion of charge carriers in forward and reverse biased siliconp-njunctions are

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

For forward biased, majority charge carrier constitute current by diffusing to other side of junction. For reversed biased, minority charge carrier constitute small amount of leakage current by drifting due toexternally applied electric field.
