A semiconductor has equal electron and hole concentration of \(2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\). On doping with a certain impurity, the electron concentration increases to \(4 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\), then the new hole concentration of the semiconductor is

  1. A \(10^6 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
  2. B \(10^8 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
  3. C \(10^{10} \mathrm{~m}^3\)
  4. D \(10^{12} \mathrm{~m}^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10^6 \mathrm{~m}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electron concentration, \(n_e=2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) Hole concentration, \(n_h=2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) After doping with a impurity, the new electron concentration, \(n_e^{\prime}=4 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) New hole concentration, \(n_h^{\prime}=\) ?…
