Question

Discuss the charge density, electric field and potential variation in p-n junction. Consequently, calculate the depletion width and junction capacitance.

Answer 1

One approach to continuous charge distributions is to define electric flux and make use of Gauss' law to relate the electric field at a surface to the total charge enclosed within the surface. ... The divergence of the electric field at a point in space is equal to the charge density divided by the permittivity of space.
