AIIMS 2010 Physics Doping Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Assertion: At a fixed temperature, silicon will have a minimum conductivity when it has a smaller acceptor doping. Reason: The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor is slightly higher than that of a lightly doped p-type.

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

As conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor is less than that of a lightly doped p-type.
