MCQ
The concepts of holes is introduced based on:
  • A
    The notion that it is a whole lot easier to keep track of the missing particles in an "almost-full" band.
  • B
    The keeping track of the actual electrons in that band.
  • C
    The charge of holes
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

  1. The notion that it is a whole lot easier to keep track of the missing particles in an "almost-full" band.

Explanation:

The concept of holes was introduced so as to occupy the empty spaces left by the missing electron. For example, in a valence band, when an electron jumps from valence to conduction band, an empty space is created in valence band which is occupied by a hole.
