Question

Electric conduction in a semiconductor takes place due to:

A.

both holes and electrons

B.

only holes

C.

neither holes nor electrons

D.

only electrons

Correct option is A

In a semiconductor, electrical conduction occurs due to the movement of both electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence band. Electrons are negatively charged particles, and holes are the absence of electrons in the valence band, which can be treated as positively charged carriers. Both of these charge carriers contribute to the overall conductivity of the semiconductor material.
