NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12

Consider a p-type semiconductor as described where the acceptor energy level E_A is slightly above the valence band. Which statement correctly describes the behavior of electrons in this structure when a small amount of energy is supplied?

Question diagram
A

Electrons from the valence band jump to the acceptor level E_A.

B

Electrons from the conduction band drop to the valence band.

C

Electrons move from the acceptor level to the conduction band.

D

Electrons remain stationary and no movement occurs.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context describes that with a small supply of energy, electrons can jump from the valence band to the acceptor level E_A, ionizing the acceptor negatively.
