For a hole which of the following statements is incorrect ?
Correct answer: B. Holes can exist in any material including conductors
- A. Holes can exist in certain semiconductors only
- B. Holes can exist in any material including conductors
- C. Holes may constitute an electric current
- D. Holes can be considered as a net positive charge
Explanation
A hole is the effective positive charge produced by a missing electron in a semiconductor crystal and can contribute to current. It is not ordinarily treated as a mobile carrier in every material, including conductors, so statement b is incorrect.
