Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.68\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The conductivity of semiconductor

\( \sigma =\mathrm{e}\left(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \mu_{\mathrm{e}}+\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}} \mu_{\mathrm{h}}\right)\)

\(=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\left(5 \times 10^{18} \times 2+5 \times 10^{19} \times 0.01\right) \)

\(=1.6 \times 1.05=1.68(\Omega-\mathrm{m})^{-1}\)
