MHT CET · Physics · Semiconductors
The charge carriers in a \(p\) -type semiconductor are
- A electrons only
- B holes only
- C holes in larger numbers and electrons in smaller numbers
- D holes and electrons in equal numbers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) holes in larger numbers and electrons in smaller numbers
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a \(p\) -type semiconductor, holes are the majority, charge carriers and electrons are minority charge carriers. So, holes are in larger numbers and electrons in smaller numbers.
