  1. Question 1

    Q1. The Fermi level in an intrinsic semiconductor lies

    • A) at the bottom of the conduction band
    • B) at the top of the valence band
    • C) in the middle of the band gap
    • D) within the valence band

    Answer: in the middle of the band gap

    Explanation: In intrinsic semiconductors, the Fermi level is at the center of the band gap due to equal probability of electron and hole creation.
