MCQ
In an intrinsic semiconductor, conductivity is:
  • A
    Low at room temperature
  • B
    Average
  • C
    High at room temperature
  • D
    Zero at room temperature
✓

Answer

  1. Low at room temperature

Explanation:

In intrinsic semiconductors, n = p. Hence, at room temperature, no free electrons are available for conduction. If the temperature is increased, the covalent bonds will break and electrons will be freed, each electron will leave behind a hole and capture a new hole the process will continued and charge flows through intrinsic semiconductor.

Thus, its conductivity increases with temperature. Hence, in intrinsic semiconductor conductivity is low at room temperature.

Consider two processes on a system as shown in figure.

The volumes in the initial states are the same in the two processes and the volumes in the final states are also the same. Let $\Delta\text{W}_1$ and $\Delta\text{W}_2$ be the work done by the system in the processes A and B respectively.
  1. $\Delta\text{W}_1>\Delta\text{W}_2.$

In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory:
  1. The amount of hydrogen taken is much smaller than that present in the star.
  2. The temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  3. The pressure of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  4. The gravitational pull is much smaller than that in the star.
