Question
In an unbiased p-n junction, the majority of charge carriers (that is, holes) in the p-region diffuse into the n-region because of
Options
the potential difference across the p-n junction
the higher hole concentration in p-region than that in n-region
the attraction of free electrons of n-region
the higher concentration of electrons in the n-region than that in the p-region
