Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Diffusion and recombination currents Drift and recombination currents Electron and hole currents Correct Diffusion and drift currents

Explanation

The total current ( I ) in an intrinsic semiconductor is the sum of electron current ( I_e ) and hole current ( I_h ), i.e., I = I_e + I_h . This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
