Which is the majority charge carrier in p-type semiconductor and n-type semiconductor?

Which is the majority charge carrier in p-type semiconductor and n-type semiconductor? Correct Answer Holes in p-type semiconductors and electron in a n-type semiconductor

CONCEPT:

  • The material which is not a good conductor or a good insulator is called a semiconductor.
  • For example Silicon
  • The charge carriers which are present in more quantity in a semiconductor compared to other particles are called the majority charge carrier.

There are two types of semiconductors:

p-type semiconductor:

  • The semiconductor having holes as majority charge carriers and electrons as a minority charge carrier is called a p-type semiconductor.

n-type semiconductor:

  • The semiconductor having electrons as majority charge carriers and holes as minority charge carriers are called n-type semiconductors.

EXPLANATION:

  • From the above it is clear that holes are the majority charge carriers in p-type semiconductors and electrons are the majority charge carriers in an n-type semiconductor. 

So option 1 is correct.
