Important Questions on Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.

EASY

Statement I: By doping silicon semiconductors with pentavalent material, the electrons density increases.

Statement II: The n-type of semiconductor has a net negative charge.

In the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

MEDIUM
The density of an electron-hole pair in pure germanium is 3×1016 m-3 at room temperature. On doping with aluminium, the hole density increases to 4.5×1022 m-3. Now the electron density (in m-3 ) in doped germanium will be
EASY
The electron concentration in an undefined n-type semiconductor is the same as hole concentration in a undefined p-type semiconductor. An external field (electric) is applied across each of them. Compare the currents in them.
MEDIUM
A semiconductor has equal electron and hole concentration 6×108 m-3. On doping with a certain impurity electron concentration increases to 9×1012 m-3. Calculate the new hole concentration.  Also identify the new semiconductor.
MEDIUM
The contribution to the total current in a semiconductor, due to electrons and holes are 0.75 and 0.25 respectively. The drift velocity of electrons is 32 times that of holes at this temperature. Then the ratio between electron concentration and hole concentration is
