Solution and Explanation
The mass action law for intrinsic semiconductors at thermal equilibrium states that the product of the electron concentration\( (( n )) \)and the hole concentration \((( p )) \)is always equal to the square of the intrinsic carrier concentration\( (( n_i )). \)
Mathematically, this is expressed as:
\(n \times p = n_i^2\)
This relationship holds true for intrinsic as well as extrinsic (both p-type and n-type) semiconductors at thermal equilibrium, given that the temperature and the semiconductor material remain constant.
