$A$ $P-N$ junction has a potential barrier of $0.5 \ V$. If an electron enters the $P-N$ junction diode from the $N$-side with a speed of $5 \times 10^5 \ m/s$,what will be its speed when it emerges from the $P$-side?

  • A
    $5.1 \times 10^4 \ m/s$
  • B
    $2.1 \times 10^4 \ m/s$
  • C
    $2.7 \times 10^2 \ m/s$
  • D
    $2.7 \times 10^5 \ m/s$
