Minority carriers in a \(p\)-type semiconductor are
- A free electrons
- B holes
- C neither holes nor free electrons
- D both holes and free electrons
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) free electrons
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In \(p\)-type semiconductor dencity of mobile holes exceeds that of conduction electrons. Hence,
minority carriers in \(p\)-type semiconductor are conduction (free) electrons
minority carriers in \(p\)-type semiconductor are conduction (free) electrons
