The potential difference across an unbiased p-n junction is called?
ABuilt-in potential
BStopping potential
CBreakdown voltage
DSaturation voltage
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Built-in potential
At equilibrium the diffusing carriers leave fixed ions that set up a built-in potential across the junction.
