The depletion layer in $\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}$ junction region is caused by

The depletion layer in $\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}$ junction region is caused by
  1. drift of electrons.
  2. migration of impurity ions.
  3. diffusion of charge carries.
  4. drift of holes.

Solution

The correct option is C diffusion of charge carriers Due to the large concentration of electrons in N -side and holes in P -side, they diffuses from their own side to other side when giving biasing. Hence depletion region produces.
