- 1Carrier concentration doubles with a fall in temperature.
- 2No change in carrier concentration occurs with a rise in temperature.
- 3An increase in temperature increases the number of majority charge carriers and decreases the number of minority charge carriers.
- 4An increase in temperature produces an identical absolute increase in the number of majority and minority charge carriers due to electron-hole pair generation.✓
Correct answer
An increase in temperature produces an identical absolute increase in the number of majority and minority charge carriers due to electron-hole pair generation.
