In p-type semiconductor the majority and minority charge carriers are respectively

In p-type semiconductor the majority and minority charge carriers are respectively Correct Answer Holes and electrons

In p-type semiconductor, large number of holes is present. Hence, holes are the majority charge carriers in the p-type semiconductor. The holes (majority charge carriers) carry most of the electric charge or electric current in the p-type semiconductor.In p-type semiconductor, very small number of free electrons is present. Hence, free electrons are the minority charge carriers in the p-type semiconductor.
