As the doping to a pure semiconductor increases, the bulk resistance of the semiconductor_______________?

Correct answer: C. Decreases

  • A. Remains the same
  • B. Increases
  • C. Decreases
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Doping increases the number of charge carriers, either electrons or holes, so conductivity rises. Since resistance varies inversely with conductivity, the bulk resistance decreases.
