alleryStart learning →In an n-type semiconductor, majority carriers are:
ABoth equal
BElectrons (donor atoms like P, As donate free electrons)
CIons
DHoles
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Electrons (donor atoms like P, As donate free electrons)
n-type: doped with pentavalent (P, As, Sb).
Donor atoms contribute extra electrons.
**Majority:** electrons (n >> p). Minority: holes.
Conductivity dominated by electron motion.
