Question: 32
(Choose 1 answer)
Which of the following statements correctly describes the behavior of charge carriers in semiconductors?
A. Drift current is caused by the movement of charge carriers due to an electric field, while diffusion current is
caused by the movement due to a concentration gradient.
B. Drift current results from a concentration gradient, while diffusion current is caused by the applied electric
field.
C. Both drift and diffusion currents require a temperature difference to occur.
D. Drift current is independent of the electric field, while diffusion current does not depend on the
concentration gradient.
