A bar of silicon is doped with boron concentration of
and assumed to be fully ionized. It is exposed to light such that electron-hole pairs are generated throughout the volume of the bar at the rate of
. If the recombination lifetime is 100
s, intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon is
and assuming 100% ionization of boron, then the approximate product of steady-state electron and hole concentrations due to this light exposure isYour answerChoose one option.

The energy band diagram of a p-type semiconductor bar of length L under equilibrium condition (i.e., the Fermi energy level
is constant) is shown in the figure. The valence band
is sloped since doping is non-uniform along the bar. The difference between the energy levels of the valence band at the two edges of the bar is
. 
If the charge of an electron is q, then the magnitude of the electric field developed inside this semiconductor bar is
