In a semiconductor it is observed that three-quarters of the current is carried by electrons and one quarters by holes. If the drift speed is three times that of the holes, what is the ratio of electrons to holes?(a) 1 : 1(b) 1 : 2(c) 2 : 1(d) 4 : 1

Answer» The correct answer is (a) 1 : 1

The explanation: In a semiconductor, I = Ie + Ih

 Here, Ie = ^3⁄4 I and Ih = ^1⁄4 I

Now ve = 3vh

Ie/Ih = nve/nvh

3 = 3n/p

n = p

Hence the ration is, 1 : 1
