what is the difference between drift current and diffusion
current.

Answer Posted / akhil gopal

Charge that moves in response to an applied electric field
in a p-n junction diode (silicon)is known as Drift Current.
Diffusion current is a current formed due to the diffusion
of positive holes to the n-region and the diffusion of
electrons to the p-region
