A depletion layer consists of

1. electrons
2. protons
3. mobile ions
4. immobile ions

Correct answer: immobile ions

Solution

The depletion layer in a PN junction is formed due to the diffusion of charge carriers, leaving behind immobile ions (positive ions in the N-region and negative ions in the P-region). These ions create an electric field that opposes further diffusion.
