- (a) n remains constant over the temperature range
- (b) n increases monotonically with increasing temperature
- (c) n increases first, remains constant over a range and again increases with increasing temperature
- (d) n increases show a peak and then decreases with rising in temperature
Que.22 In a homogeneously doped n-type semiconductor bar, holes are injected at one end of the bar. How will the holes flow to the other end?
- (a) By drift mechanism only
- (b) By diffusion mechanism only
- (c) By a combination of drift and diffusion mechanisms

Que.23 The drift velocity of electrons in silicon varies with applied electric field in which one of the ways?
- (a) It monotonically increases with increasing field
- (b) It first increases linearly, then sub-linearly increases and finally attains saturation with increasing field
- (c) It first increases, then decreases showing a negative differential region, again increases and finally saturates
- (d) The drift velocity remains unchanged with an increase in field
Que.24 Why does the mobility of electrons in a semiconductor decrease with increasing donor density?
- (a) Doping increases the effective mass of electrons
- (b) Doping decreases the relaxation time of electrons
- (c) Electrons are trapped by the donors
- (d) More holes are generated so that the effective mobility decreases
Que.25 The electron and hole concentrations, n and p respectively obey the relation np = ni2 where ni is the intrinsic carrier density. This expression is valid for which of the following?
- (a) For all semiconductors under any condition
- (b) For direct band gap semiconductors only
- (c) For non-degenerate semiconductors under thermal equilibrium condition
