The conduction due to charges produced by pair generation is called _ conduction.

Correct answer: A. Intrinsic

  • A. Intrinsic
  • B. Hole
  • C. Full
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The conduction due to charges produced by pair generation is called intrinsic conduction. Intrinsic conduction occurs in semiconductors when electron-hole pairs are generated due to thermal energy or absorbed photons. When these pairs are created, the free electrons and holes (positive counterparts of electrons) contribute to the conductivity of the semiconductor, allowing the flow of electric current.

About Electronics

A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
