Question

Consider an open-circuited p-n junction in thermal equilibrium. Let Jp,drift and Jp,diff be the hole drift and diffusion current densities, respectively, and let Jn,drift and Jn,diff be the corresponding electron current densities. Of the following equalities, mark false,at all points in the p-n junction structure.

A
Jn,drift + Jp,diff = -Jn,diffJp,diff

Solution

The correct option is C Jn,drift = Jn,diff and Jp,drift=Jp,diff
electron diffusion and drift are not equal in pn junction.same holds for holes drift and diffusuion velocities
