$A$ semiconductor has electron and hole mobilities $\mu_{n}$ and $\mu_{p}$ respectively. If its intrinsic carrier density is $n_{i}$,what will be the value of hole concentration $p$ for which the conductivity will be minimum at a given temperature?

  • A
    $n_{i} \sqrt{\frac{\mu_{n}}{\mu_{p}}}$
  • B
    $n_{i} \sqrt{\frac{\mu_{p}}{\mu_{n}}}$
  • C
    $n_{i} \frac{\mu_{n}}{\mu_{p}}$
  • D
    $n_{i} \frac{\mu_{p}}{\mu_{n}}$
