Question

In n-type semiconductor the majority carriers are:

• A. Electrons
• B. Holes
• C. Electrons and Holes
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Electrons

• In p-type semiconductor, there are more no. of holes than no. of free electrons.
• Therefore, the conduction in p-type semiconductor is due to greater no. of holes and less no. of free electrons and holes are the majority carriers in p-type semiconductor.
