MCQ
The electrical conductivity of pure germanium can be increased by:
  • A
    Increasing the temperature.
  • B
    Doping acceptor impurities.
  • C
    Doping donor impurities.
  • D
    Irradiating ultraviolet light on it.

Answer

  1. Increasing the temperature.
  2. Doping acceptor impurities.
  3. Doping donor impurities.
  4. Irradiating ultraviolet light on it.

Explanation:

We know that the conductivity of any semiconductor can be increased by increasing the number of charge carriers. All the given methods are effective in increasing the number of free charge carriers. Hence, all options are correct.
