Question

In which type of connections of P-N junction, is the net flow holes from N-region to the P-region ?

• A. forward
• B. reverse
• C. both 1 and 2
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B reverse

In forward biased, holes (majority carriers) flow from P to N side.
In reverse biased, the leakage current is due to majority carriers , i.e. holes of N side and electrons of the P side.

Hence, $\left(B\right)$ is the correct answer.
