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

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true not 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:
C
Electrons experience much collisions. The mobility of electrons is more because they require less energy to move, not because they are lighter.
