JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 14. Semicondutor electronics

Statement \(I :\) When a Si sample is doped with Boron, it becomes \(P\) type and when doped by Arsenic it becomes \(N-\)type semi conductor such that \(P-\)type has excess holes and N-type has excess electrons. Statement \(II\) : When such \(P-\)type and \(N-\)type semi-conductors, are fused to make a junction, a current will automatically flow which can be detected with an externally connected ammeter. In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  1. A Both Statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are incorrect
  2. B Statement \(I\) is incorrect but statement \(II\) is correct
  3. C Both Statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are correct
  4. D Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is incorrect
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is incorrect

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement\(-I\) is correct When \(P-N\) junction is formed an electric field is generated form \(N\)-side to \(P\)-side due to which barrier potential arises \& majority charge carrier can not flow through the junction due to barrier potential so current is \(zero\) unless we…
