Q158 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2024 (10 May Shift 2) · Physics

In an $n$-type semiconductor, electrons are majority charge carriers and holes are minority charge carriers. The charge of an $n$-type semiconductor is

A
negative
B
positive
Correct answer
C
neutral
D
depends on the dopant

Solution

Any n-type or p-type semiconductors are neutral.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
