The energy band gap is maximum in (a) metals (b) superconductors (c) insulator (d) semiconductor

Answer: (c). Metals and superconductors: bands overlap, Eg = 0. Semiconductors: Eg ≈ 1 eV; insulators: Eg > 3 eV. So the answer is (c) insulator.

Answer: (c)

In semiconductors, at room temperature theMHT CET 2026 (15 May, Shift 1)
Electrical conductivity of insulators isMHT CET 2026 (16 Apr, Shift 2)
In energy band diagram of insulators, a band gap and the conduction band is respectivelyMHT CET 2026 (11 Apr, Shift 2)
There is no hole current in good conductors because theyMHT CET 2026 (13 May, Shift 1)
In semiconductors at room temperature,MHT CET 2024 (10 May, Shift 2)
In semiconductors at room temperature,MHT CET 2024 (2 May, Shift 1)
In semiconductors at room temperature,MHT CET 2023 (14 May, Shift 1)
In energy band diagram of insulators, a band gap and the conduction band is respectivelyMHT CET 2023 (11 May, Shift 1)
