A combination of p-type and N-type substance give rise to:
Correct answer: A. P-N junction
- A. P-N junction
- B. N-N-junction
- C. P-P junction
- D. None of the above
Explanation
When P-type and N-type come into contact, carriers, which are holes and free electrons, are attracted to each other, recombine at the junction of P-type and N-type, and disappear. Because there are no carriers near the junction, it is called a depletion layer, and it becomes the same state as an insulator.A PN junction hence forms.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
