In n type semiconductor, electrons are majority charge carriers but it does not show any negative charge. The reason is
- A electrons are stationary
- B electrons neutralize with holes
- C O mobility of electrons is extremely small
- D atom is electrically neutral
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) atom is electrically neutral
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In n type semiconductor, electrons are majority charge carriers but it does not show any negative charge because atom
is electrically neutral having both electrons and protons making it charge neutral overall.
is electrically neutral having both electrons and protons making it charge neutral overall.
