NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): In a p-type semiconductor, holes are the majority charge carriers. | Reason (R): The acceptor energy level E_A is slightly above the valence band, allowing electrons to easily jump into it and leave holes in the valence band.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as holes are the majority carriers in p-type semiconductors. The reason correctly explains this by stating that the acceptor level E_A is slightly above the valence band, allowing electron transitions that create holes.
