JEE MAIN - Physics (2017 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 5)

What is the conductivity of a semiconductor sale having electron concentration of $$5 \times {10^{18}}\,\,{m^{ - 3}},$$ hole concentration of $$5 \times {10^{19}}\,\,{m^{ - 3}},$$ electron mobility of 2.0 m2 V$$-$$1 s-1 and hole mobility of 0.01 m2 V$$-$$1 s$$-$$1 ?

(Take charge of electronas 1.6 $$ \times $$ 10 $$-$$19 c)
1.68 ($$\Omega $$-m)$$-$$1
1.83 ($$\Omega $$-m)$$-$$1
0.59 ($$\Omega $$-m)$$-$$1
1.20 ($$\Omega $$-m)$$-$$1

Explanation

Conductivity of semiconductor,

$$\sigma $$ = e$$\left( {{\eta _e}{\mu _e} + \eta '{\mu _h}} \right)$$

= 1.6 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$19 (5 $$ \times $$ 1018 $$ \times $$ 2 + 5 $$ \times $$ 1019 $$ \times $$ 0.01)

= 1.6 $$ \times $$ 1.05

= 1.68
