    No electric field across the junction
  • An electric field pointing from $ N-$ type to $P-$ type side across the junction
  • C
    An electric field pointing from $P-$ type to $ N-$ type side across the junction
  • D

The dimensional formula of angular impulse is:
A rigid wire loop of square shape having side of length $L$ and resistance $R$ is moving along the $x$-axis with a constant velocity $\mathrm{v}_0$ in the plane of the paper. At $t=0$, th $\geqslant$ right edge of the loop enters a region of length $3 L$ where there is a uniform magnetic field $B_{i)}$ into the plane of the paper, as shown in the figure. For sufficiently large $v_0$, the loop eventually crosses the region. Let $x$ be the location of the right edge of the loop. Let $\mathrm{v}(x), I(x)$ and $F(x)$ represent the velocity of the loop, current in the loop, and force on the loop, respectively, as a function of $x$. Counter-clockwise current is taken as positive.
