Question:

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the relation between the numbers of holes ($n_h$) and conduction electrons ($n_e$) will be

Options:

$ո_h = n_e$

$ո_h > n_e$

$ո_h = 2n_e$

$ո_h < n_e$

Correct Answer:

$ո_h = n_e$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $ո_h = n_e$

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of electrons in the conduction band equals the number of holes in the valence band.

$n_e = n_h$

Answer: $n_e = n_h$
