Question

Let n_h and n_e be the number of holes and conduction electrons respectively in a semiconductor. Then ______.

Options

• n_h > n_e in an intrinsic semiconductor.

• n_h = n_e in an extrinsic semiconductor.

• n_h = n_e in an intrinsic semiconductor.

• n_e > n_h in an intrinsic semiconductor.

Answer 1

Let n_h and n_e be the number of holes and conduction electrons respectively in a semiconductor. Then n_h= n_e in an intrinsic semiconductor.
