Assertion (A): n-type semiconductors are formed by doping a semiconductor with a pentavalent impurity. | Reason (R): In n-type semiconductors, holes are the majority charge carriers.
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.
