Physics · Semiconductor Electronics
Assertion (A): We cannot form a p-n junction diode by simply taking a slab of a p-type semiconductor and physically pressing it against another slab of an n-type semiconductor. Reason (R): In a p-type semiconductor, the concentration of holes (nh) is much greater than the concentration of electrons (ne), while in an n-type semiconductor, ne >> nh.
- 1Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- 2Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- 3Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.✓
- 4Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
Correct answer
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
