Question

A pn junction is formed from two different semiconducting materials that are in the form of identical cylinders with a radius 0.165 mm. Suppose that 3.50 × 1015 electrons flow each second across the junction from the n side to the p side while 2.25 × 1015 ‘holes’ flow each second from the p side to the n side. A ‘hole’ is a missing electron amongst the valence electrons, which can be treated as a particle with a charge +e.
