In p-type semiconductor, the major charge carriers are:

A

electrons only

B

holes only

C

holes in large numbers and electrons in smaller numbers

D

holes and electrons in equal numbers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In a p-type semiconductor, holes are the majority, charge carriers and electrons are minority charge carrieres. So, holes are in larger numbers and electrons in smaller numbers.
