Questions  

The drift velocities of holes and electrons in a semiconductor are in the ratio 5 : 8. What will be the ratio of concentrations of electrons and holes if the ratio of electron current and hole current in a semi conductor is 7 : 5? 

a
7 : 8
b
8 : 7
c
5 : 8
d
8 : 5

detailed solution

Correct option is A

I=Vd.neA⇒n=IVdeA∴nenh=(IeIh)(Vd)h(Vd)e=75×58=78
