Question

The majority carriers in a p-type semiconductor are

• A. Electrons
• B. Holes
• C. Both A and B
• D. Impurities

Answer 1

The correct option is B Holes

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 and holes are the majority carriers in p-type semiconductor.
