In a p-n junction diode under reverse bias , the magnitude of electric field is maximum at_____________?
Correct answer: C. the p-n junction
- A. the edge of the depletion region on the p-side
- B. the edge of the depletion region on the n-side
- C. the p-n junction
- D. the center of the depletion region on the n-side
Explanation
Under reverse bias, the electric field rises from zero at the depletion-region edges to its maximum at the p-n junction, where the space-charge density produces the strongest field. Hence the peak occurs at the junction.
