NEET2010PhysicsSemiconductorsActual
Assertion : At a fixed temperature, silicon will have a minimum conductivity when it has a smaller acceptor doping. Reason : The conductivity of an intrinisic semiconductor is slightly higher than that of a lightly doped p -type
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false
Step-by-step solution
As conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor is less than that of a lightly doped p-type
