Solution

The region where the electrons and holes diffused across the junction is called a. depletion region. This region is formed in a p-n junction diode where there are no mobile charges. It is called the depletion region because it is depleted of any charge carriers (holes and electrons). The width of this region varies with the bias applied to the diode.
