The electron concentration in a sample of uniformly doped n-type silicon at 300oK varies linearly from $$10^{17}/cm^3$$ at x = 0 to $$6\times10^{16}/cm^3$$ at x = 2 $$\mu m$$. Assume a situation that electrons are supplied to keep this concentration gradient constant with time.If electronic charge is $$1.6\times10^{-19}\;coulomb$$ and the diffusion constant $$D_n=3\;cm^2/s$$, the current density in the silicon, if no electric field is present is
A
Zero
B
120 A/cm2
C
+1120 A/cm2
D
-1120 A/cm2
