When a p-type impurity is doped in a semiconductor,a large number of holes are created. This does not make the semiconductor chared.But when holes diffuse from the p-side to the n-side in a p-n junction,the n-side gets positvely charged.Explain.

In a semiconducting material the mobilities of electrons and holes are mu_(e) and mu_(h) respectively. Which of the following is true?

Assertion : In a semiconductor, the conduction electrons have a higher mobility than holes. Reason: The electrons experience fewer collisions.

In a semiconductor the concentrations of electrons and holes are 8xx10^(18)//m^(3) and 5xx10^(18)//m^(3) respectively. If the mobilities of electrons and hole are 2.3m^(2)/"volt-sec" and 0.01m^(2)//"volt-sec" respectively, then semiconductor is-

A hole in a semiconductor is

Mobility of electrons in a semiconductor is defined as the ratio of their drift velocity to the applied electric field. If, for an n-type semiconuctor, the density of electrons is 10^(19)m^(-3) and their mobility is 1.6m^(2)//(V.s) then the resistivity of te semiconductor (since it is an n-type semiconductor contribution of holes is ignored) is close to :

Which semiconductor has more mobility : p-type or n-type ? Explain.
