How do electrons and electron holes move in response to an electric field in a p-type semiconductor?
Options
- AElectrons move toward the negatively charged plate, and electron holes move toward the positively charged plat
- BElectrons and electron holes both move toward the positively charged plate.
- CElectrons and electron holes both move toward the negatively charged plate.
- DElectrons move toward the positively charged plate, and electron holes move toward the negatively charged plat
Correct answer
D. Electrons move toward the positively charged plate, and electron holes move toward the negatively charged plat
Step-by-step solution
In a p-type semiconductor under the influence of an electric field, electrons move toward the positively charged plate, and electron holes move toward the negatively charged plate.
