-- Question text hereIn a p-n junction diode, not connected to any circuit
A
The potential is same everywhere
B
The p-side is at higher potential than n-side
C
The n-side is at higher potential than p-side
D
Electric field is directed from p-side to n-side
Explanation
Due to diffusion of charge carriers, a depletion layer forms where the n-side becomes positively charged and p-side negatively charged, making the n-side potential higher.
