NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12
Which of the following statements about p-type semiconductors is correct?
A
In p-type semiconductors, holes are created due to the ionization of acceptor atoms.
B
P-type semiconductors have an excess of electrons compared to holes.
C
The acceptor energy level in p-type semiconductors is below the valence band.
D
P-type semiconductors require high energy to ionize acceptor atoms.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In p-type semiconductors, the acceptor energy level E_A is slightly above the valence band, allowing for the creation of holes when acceptor atoms are ionized, as stated in Chunk 1.
