Test: NEET 2021 Past Year Paper - Question 1

An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of 5A as shown. An electron is moving with a speed of 105 m/s parallel to the conductor. The perpendicular distance between the electron and the conductor is 20cm at an instant. Calculate the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron at that instant.

Test: NEET 2021 Past Year Paper - Question 17

The electron concentration in an: n-type semiconductor is the same as hole concentration in a p-type semiconductor. An external field (electric) is applied across each of them. Compare the currents in them.

Electrons effective mass is smaller than holes therefore mobility of electrons is higher than holes and for equal electric field, drift velocity of the electron will be greater compared to holes.
As concentration is also same for both the cases, hence magnitude of current due to electron will be greater compared to that of holes as I = neAv.
