In a vacuum, a five-rupee coin, a feather of a sparrow bird and a mango are dropped simultaneously from the same height. The time taken by them to reach the bottom is t1 t2 and t3 respectively. In this situation, we will observe that:

  • t > t2 > t3

  • t > t3 > t2

  • t > t1 > t2

  • t = t2 = t3

The majority charge carriers in a p-type semiconductor are:

  • free electrons

  • conduction electrons

  • ions

  • holes


D.

holes

Majority and minority carriers. The more abundant charge carriers are called majority carriers, which are primarily responsible for current transport in a piece of semiconductor. In n-type semiconductors they are electrons, while in p-type semiconductors they are holes.
