If the temperature of an extrinsic semiconductor is increased so that the intrinsic carrier concentration is doubled, then
Options
A. the majority carrier density is doubled
B. the minority carrier density is doubled
C. the minority carrier density becomes 4 times the original value
D. both the majority and minority carrier densities double
Correct Answer
both the majority and minority carrier densities double
Explanation
As the intrinsic carrier concentration is doubled, the concentration of both electrons and holes is doubled.
