Question

In p-type semiconductor, conduction is due to

• A. greater number of holes and less number of electrons.
• B. only electrons.
• C. only holes.
• D. greater number of electrons and less number of holes.

Answer 1

The correct option is A greater number of holes and less number of electrons.

In p-type semiconductor, there are more no. of holes than no. of free electrons. Therefore, the conduction in p-type semiconductor is due to greater no. of holes and less no. of free electrons.
