If the ratio of the concentration of electrons that of holes in a semiconductor is 7 /5 and the ratio of currents is 7/4, then what is the ratio of their drift velocities?

  • 4/7

  • 5/8

  • 4/5

  • 5/4

Solution

D.

5/4

straight n subscript straight e over straight n subscript straight n space equals space 7 over 5
straight I subscript straight e over straight I subscript straight n space equals space 7 over 4
