When a p-n junction is reverse biased, then the current through the junction is mainly due to

Options

(a) Only diffusion of charges
(b) Only drift of charges
(c) Both drift and diffusion of charges
(d) Neither drift nor diffusion of charges

Correct Answer:

Only drift of charges

Explanation:

When the p-n junction is reverse biased, then the current across the junction is mainly due to drifting of minority carriers.
