How is the movement of electrons and electron holes influenced by an electric field in a p-type semiconductor?
Options
- ABoth move toward the negatively charged plate.
- BBoth move toward the positively charged plate.
- CElectrons move toward the negatively charged plate, and electron holes move toward the positively charged plat
- 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.
