The resistivity of an extrinsic semiconductor is about

Right Answer is:

2 Ω cm

SOLUTION

At room temperature, the resistivity of an extrinsic semiconductor is typically a few ohm-cm while the resistivity of an intrinsic semiconductor is much higher and may depend on the density of unavoidable impurities in the material.

Since adding impurity to semiconductor material  increases its conductivity, therefore, the resistivity is very small of about 2Ω cm to 5Ω cm
