    Regarding a semiconductor which one of the following is wrong?

    A)  There are no free electrons at room temperature

    B)         There are no free electrons at 0 K

    C)         The number of free electrons increases with rise of temperature

    D)         The charge carriers are electrons and holes

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In semiconductor, no covalent bond breaks at \[0K\] so, no electron is free at\[0K\]. At room temperature some covalent bonds break, so, some electrons and holes become free. More covalent bonds break at high-temperature and so, number of free electrons increases at high temperature.
