MCQ
Semiconductor is damaged by the strong current due to
- ALack of free electron
- ✓Excess of electrons
- CExcess of proton
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Excess of electrons
b
(b)When a strong current passes through the semiconductor it heats up the crystal and covalent bond are broken. Hence because of excess number of free electrons it behaves like a conductor.
