Assertion: The number of electrons in a ...

Assertion: The number of electrons in a `p`-type silicon semiconductor is less than the number of electrons ina pure silicon semiconductor at room temperature.
Reason: It is due to law of mass action.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to law of mass action, `n_(1)^(2)=n_(g)n_(h)` In p-type semiconductor `n_(h) gt n_(e)`
