Electric conduction in a semiconductor takes place due to

1. electrons only
2. holes only
3. both electrons and holes
4. neither electrons nor holes

Correct answer: both electrons and holes

Solution

Semiconductors conduct electricity through two kinds of charge carriers: electrons and holes. Both can move under an electric field and contribute to current flow.
