In a \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)type silicon, which of the following statement is true:
1. | The electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants. |
2. | The electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants. |
3. | The holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants. |
4. | The holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants. |
In an unbiased \(\mathrm{p\text-n}\) junction, holes diffuse from the \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)region to the \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)region because:
1. | free electrons in the \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)region attract them. |
2. | they move across the junction by the potential difference. |
3. | hole concentration in the \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)region is higher as compared to the \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)region. |
4. | All the above. |
