MCQ
The contribution in the total current flowing through a semiconductor due to electrons and holes are $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ respectively. If the drift velocity of electrons is $\frac{5}{2}$ times that of holes at this temperature, then the ratio of concentration of electrons and holes is
  • $6 : 5$
  • B
    $5:6$
  • C
    $3 : 2$
  • D
    $2 : 3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$6 : 5$
a
(a)As we know current density $J = nqv$
==> ${J_e} = {n_e}q{v_e}$ and ${J_h} = {n_h}q{v_h}$
==> $\frac{{{J_e}}}{{{J_h}}} = \frac{{{n_e}}}{{{n_h}}} \times \frac{{{v_e}}}{{{v_h}}}$ ==> $\frac{{3/4}}{{1/4}} = \frac{{{n_e}}}{{{n_h}}} \times \frac{5}{{20}}$ ==> $\frac{{{n_e}}}{{{n_h}}} = \frac{6}{5}$
