The drift current in a p-n junction is

MHT CET Physics question

Not in JEE Advanced syllabus

The drift current in a junction is

(A)from the -side to the -sideCorrect
(B)from the -side to the -side
(C)from the -side to the -side, if the junction is forward biased and in the opposite direction, if it is reverse biased
(D)from the -side to the -side, if the junction is forward biased and in the opposite direction, if it is reverse biased

Answer: (A)

Drift current is due to minority carriers swept by the junction field, which points from n to p, so the conventional drift current is from
