The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements regarding the doping of silicon and the behavior of p-type and n-type semiconductors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Doping in Semiconductors**: - When silicon (Si) is doped with boron (B), it becomes a p-type semiconductor. This is because boron has one less valence electron than silicon, creating "holes" (positive charge carriers). - When silicon is doped with arsenic (As), it becomes an n-type semiconductor. Arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon, providing excess electrons (negative charge carriers). **Hint**: Remember that p-type semiconductors have holes as majority carriers, while n-type semiconductors have electrons as majority carriers. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - The first statement correctly describes the behavior of silicon when doped with boron and arsenic. - Therefore, Statement I is **correct**. **Hint**: Confirm the definitions of p-type and n-type semiconductors to validate this statement. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - The second statement claims that when p-type and n-type semiconductors are fused together, a current will automatically flow, which can be detected with an external ammeter. - However, for current to flow, there must be a potential difference (voltage) or an external circuit connected. If there is no external battery or voltage source, the current will be zero. **Hint**: Consider the conditions necessary for current flow in a circuit and the role of an external power source. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect, we conclude that the correct option is that Statement I is true, and Statement II is false. **Final Answer**: Statement I is correct, and Statement II is incorrect. ### Summary of the Solution: - Statement I: Correct (p-type has holes, n-type has electrons). - Statement II: Incorrect (current does not flow without an external power source). ### Final Answer: - **Option**: Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect.
