Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
- A The majority carriers in p-type semiconductors are electrons.
- B Doping pure germanium with pentavalent impurities gives n-type semiconductors.
- C The resistance of intrinsic semiconductor decreases with increase of temperature.
- D Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The majority carriers in p-type semiconductors are electrons.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The majority carriers in p-type semiconductors are electrons. This statement is incorrect. In a p-type semiconductor, the majority carriers are holes, not electrons. Electrons are the majority carriers in n-type semiconductors.

When the currents are in same direction, the magnetic field at a point midway between them is \( 10 \mu \text{T} \). If the direction of \( i_2 \) is reversed, the field becomes \( 30 \mu \text{T} \). The ratio of \( i_1/i_2 \) is:CUET 2023 Easy

During anaerobic sludge digestion, bacteria produce a mixture of gases such as methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. These gases form biogas and can be used as source of energy as it is inflammable. The bioactive molecule, cyclosporin A, that is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ-transplant patients, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. You must have noticed that bottled fruit juices bought from the market are clearer as compared to those made at home. This is because the bottled juices are clarified by the use of pectinases and proteases. Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for synthesis of cholesterol. The BOD test measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by micro-organisms in a sample of water and thus, indirectly, BOD is a measure of the organic matter present in the water.
