Electronic Devices Question 75
Semiconductor is damaged by the strong current due to excessive power dissipation
[MH CET 2000]
Options:
A) Lack of free electrons
B) Excess of electrons
C) Excess of protons
D) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
When a strong current passes through the semiconductor it heats up the crystal and covalent bonds are broken.
Hence, because of the excess number of free electrons, it behaves like a conductor.
