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?
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.
