Identify the correct statement(s) among the following.
1. Electrical conductivity in an intrinsic semiconductor is due to electrons excited from the conduction band to valence band.
2. In germanium atom electrical conductivity is due to intrinsic charge carriers.
3. In doped atoms, the size of the dopant atom should be almost the same as that of the intrinsic crystal.
4. In n-type semiconductor, the donor atom becomes negatively charged.
Choose correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A 1 and 2 only
  2. B 2 and 3 only
  3. C 2 only
  4. D 3 and 4 only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 and 3 only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement 2 is true as pure germanium conducts via intrinsic carriers (electrons and holes). Statement 3 is true because dopant atoms must be similar in size to host atoms to avoid distorting the crystal lattice. Statement 1 is false (electrons move from valence to conduction…
