When a \(p\)-type semi-conductor is put in an electric field \(\overrightarrow E\) the electrons in the valence band, on average,
1. flow in the direction of the \(\overrightarrow E\) and cause a current opposite to \(\overrightarrow E\)
2. flow opposite to \(\overrightarrow E\) and cause a current along \(\overrightarrow E\)
3. flow along \(\overrightarrow E\) and cause a current along \(\overrightarrow E\)
4. flow opposite to \(\overrightarrow E\) and cause a current opposite to \(\overrightarrow E\)

In an unbiased \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction, holes diffuse from the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)regions to \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)regions because of: 
1. the attraction of free electrons of the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region.
2. the higher hole concentration in the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)region than that in the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. 
3. the higher concentration of electrons is in the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)region than that in the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. 
4. the potential difference across the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction.
