Q.No.222: - Describe the motion of electron and holes in a semiconductor.

Ans: - In a semiconductor the current flows due to the motion of electrons and shifting of holes. The electrons occupy the place of holes and made a hole in their own place and the upcoming electron take the place of that hole and so on. So in semiconductors the current due to electrons flow in one direction and the current due to shifting of holes flow in other direction.
