Question:
The Fermi level in an intrinsic semiconductor lies:
The Fermi level in an intrinsic semiconductor lies:
Show Hint
Intrinsic semiconductor → Fermi level at mid-gap.
Updated On: Jan 5, 2026
- Near the valence band
- Near the conduction band
- Exactly in the middle of the band gap
- Outside the band gap
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In intrinsic semiconductors, electron and hole concentrations are equal, so Fermi level lies midway between bands.
