As the temperature of the semiconductor is increased, the mobility of electrons and holes

Question

As the temperature of the semiconductor is increased, the mobility of electrons and holes (A) reaches equilibrium (B) remains unaffected (C) increases (D) decreases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

As temperature increases, number of charge carriers increases, so collision increases and therefore, their mobility decreases

Q. As the temperature of the semiconductor is increased, the mobility of electrons and holes

reaches equilibrium

remains unaffected

increases

decreases

As temperature increases, number of charge carriers increases, so collision increases and therefore, their mobility decreases
