MCQ
When a hole is produced in P-type semiconductor, there is:
  • A
    Extra electron in valence band
  • B
    Extra electron in conduction band
  • C
    Missing electron in valence band
  • D
    Missing electron in conduction band

Answer

  1. Missing electron in valence band

Explanation:

A hole is not itself a physical quantity but a missing electron in valence band. An electron from adjacent site jumps to fill this hole and thus creates a hole at its former site. So it seems as if the hole itself has moved.
