Answer:
Correct Answer: 42. (d)
Solution:
- (d) Depletion layer is formed by diffusion of holes and electrons from $p$-type semiconductor to n-type semiconductor and vice-versa. Hence, donor and acceptor atom get positive and negative charge leading to formation of $p-n$ junction. The donor and acceptor are immobile.
