NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

In a semiconductor, if the intrinsic carrier concentration is 2.25 × 10^32 m^-3 and the donor concentration is 5 × 10^22 m^-3, what is the concentration of holes?

A

5 × 10^9 m^-3

B

5 × 10^10 m^-3

C

5 × 10^8 m^-3

D

5 × 10^9 m^-3

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the relation n_e * n_h = n_i^2, where n_i is the intrinsic carrier concentration and n_e is the donor concentration, we calculate n_h = (2.25 × 10^32) / (5 × 10^22) = 4.5 × 10^9 m^-3.
