What is the difference between hole current and electron current ? |
|
Answer» Solution :A p-type semiconductor has HOLES as majority carriers and during conduction, the ELECTRON jumps from nearby covalent bond to occupy the hole and thus the hole SHIFTS towards covalent bond from which the electron has jumped. This MOVEMENT of hole is called hole current. An n-type semiconductor has electrons as majority carriers and during conduction, the free electrons constitute the electron current. |
