A semi-conducting device is connected in a series in circuit with a battery and a resistance. A current is allowed to pass through the circuit. If the polarity of the battery is reversed, the current drops to almost zero. The device may be :

1. a p-n junction
2. an intrinsic semiconductor
3. a p-type semiconductor
4. an n-type semiconductor

Correct answer: a p-n junction
