Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a diode, what is the region called where no charge carriers are present?
  • Step 1: Understand what a diode is. A diode is a component that allows current to flow in one direction.
  • Step 2: Learn about charge carriers. Charge carriers are particles that carry electric charge, like electrons and holes.
  • Step 3: Know that when a diode is in use, it has areas where charge carriers are present and areas where they are not.
  • Step 4: Identify the area where no charge carriers are present. This area is called the depletion region.
  • Step 5: Remember that the depletion region is important because it helps the diode control the flow of electricity.
