The number densities of electrons and holes in pure silicon at 273 K are equal and their values are \( 1.5 \times 10^{16} \text{ m}^{-3} \). On doping, the hole density increases to \( 4.5 \times 10^{27} \text{ m}^{-3} \). The electron density in the doped silicon will be :

  1. A \( 5 \times 10^4 \text{ m}^{-3} \)
  2. B \( 5 \times 10^8 \text{ m}^{-3} \)
  3. C \( 5 \times 10^9 \text{ m}^{-3} \)
  4. D \( 5 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 5 \times 10^4 \text{ m}^{-3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( n \cdot p = n_i^2 \) \( n = \frac{n_i^2}{p} = \frac{(1.5 \times 10^{16})^2}{4.5 \times 10^{27}} \) \( n = \frac{2.25 \times 10^{32}}{4.5 \times 10^{27}} = 0.5 \times 10^5 \text{ m}^{-3} \) \( n = 5 \times 10^4 \text{ m}^{-3} \)
