Question diagram
A

The potential difference opposes further carrier flow.

B

The potential difference enhances further carrier flow.

C

The potential difference is zero across the junction.

D

The potential difference is caused by external biasing.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In equilibrium, the potential difference across a p-n junction opposes further flow of carriers, maintaining no net current.
