Question
At room temperature, the N-type semiconductor will have
Solution
At room temperature, an N-type semiconductor will have free electrons as majority charge carriers. These free electrons are added to the semiconductor material through a process called doping, where impurity atoms with extra valence electrons (like Phosphorus or Arsenic) are added. The extra electrons from these atoms are easily excited into the conduction band, where they are free to move and carry electric current. The number of these free electrons far exceeds the number of holes, which are the absence of electrons in the valence band and act as minority charge carriers in N-type semiconductors.
