Question
On which factors does the electrical conductivity of a pure semiconductor depend at a given temperature?
✓
Answer
For pure semiconductor, the number density of free electrons and number density of holes is equal. Thus, at a given temperature, the conductivity of pure semiconductor depends on the number density of charge carriers in the semiconductor.
