In a $PN-$ junction diode not connected to any circuit:

  • A
    The potential is the same everywhere.
  • B
    The $P-$ type side is at a higher potential than the $N-$ type side.
  • C
    There is an electric field at the junction directed from the $N-$ type side to the $P-$ type side.
  • D
    There is an electric field at the junction directed from the $P-$ type side to the $N-$ type side.
