Question
When an impurity is doped into semiconductor, the conductivity of the semiconductor:
✓
Answer
- Increases
The pure semiconductor has less number of thermally generated charge carriers. But when it is doped with pentavalent or trivalent impurity atoms, the number of charge carriers i.e. electrons and holes increases. So conductivity increases.

When stopping potential is applied in an experiment on photoelectric effect, no photocurrent is observed. This means that:
- The emission of photoelectrons is stopped.
- The photoelectrons are emitted but are reabsorbed by the emitter metal.
- The photoelectrons are accumulated near the collector plate.
- The photoelectrons are dispersed from the sides of the apparatus.
