The charge carriers in a p-type semiconductor are

Question

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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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

Q. The charge carriers in a p-type semiconductor are

electrons only

holes only

holes in larger numbers and electrons in smaller numbers

holes and electrons in equal numbers

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
