Step 1: Define total space charge & electric field.
Electric field and total space charge are strongly connected. The entire space charge generates the electric field. The electric field is greater the more total space charge there is.
Pn junction functioning is significantly influenced by the electric field in the depletion zone. By preventing the diffusion of majority carriers over the junction, it also raises the possibility of a current flow barrier.
In a pn junction, the ionised acceptor and donor impurities in the depletion area produce the total space charge. In the depletion area, the electric field is directed from the p-side to the n-side.
