MCQ
Holes are created when:
  • A
    Electric discharge causes damage to semicondcutors.
  • B
    There are too many electrons.
  • A co$-$valent bond is broken due to thermal energy, the removal of one electron leaves a vacancy.
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
A co$-$valent bond is broken due to thermal energy, the removal of one electron leaves a vacancy.

Holes are created when a co$-$valent bond is broken due to thermal energy. The removal of one electron leaves a vacancy known as a hole.

Consider a block of conducting material ofresistivity '$\rho$' shown in the figure. Current '$I$' enters at '$A$' and leaves from '$D$'. We apply superp osition principle to find voltage '$\Delta  V$ ' developed between '$B$' and '$C$'. The calculation is done in the following steps:
$(i)$ Take current '$I$' entering from '$A$' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
$(ii)$ Calculatefield $E(r)$ at distance '$r$' from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E = \rho  j$, where j is the current per unit area at '$r$'.
(iii) From the '$r$' dependence of $E(r)$, obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$.
(iv) Repeat $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ for current '$I$' leaving '$D$' and superpose results for '$A$' and '$D$'.
