JEE Main & Advanced Physics Semiconducting Devices Question Bank Semiconductors

  • question_answer
    The forbidden energy band gap in conductors, semiconductors and insulators are \[E{{G}_{1}},\,E{{G}_{2}}\]and \[E{{G}_{3}}\] respectively. The relation among them is [MP PMT 1994; RPMT 1997]

    A)            \[E{{G}_{1}}=E{{G}_{2}}=E{{G}_{3}}\]                           

    B)            \[E{{G}_{1}}<E{{G}_{2}}<E{{G}_{3}}\]

    C)            \[E{{G}_{1}}>E{{G}_{2}}>E{{G}_{3}}\]                           

    D)            \[E{{G}_{1}}<E{{G}_{2}}>E{{G}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               In insulators, the forbidden energy gap is very large, in case of semiconductor it is moderate and in conductors the energy gap is zero.
