This is a very good question, that is not easy to answer. That is because a "hole" is a imaginary particle, a concept, with some special characteristics. Here you'll find the detailed answer:
http:en.wikipedia.org
In short you could say that the movement of a hole is the combined movement of lots of electrons, but that is meaningless if you don't understand the concept.
It's like a hole in the road. If you dig a hole next to it, using the rubble to fill it up, has your hole moved? Where it was, there is now no hole. But there is a hole nearby. Electrons in a semiconductor valence band behave like this. You can't get a current because the electrons are all packed neatly with nowhere to move. But if one is missing, there is a hole, and the electron next door can jump into it leaving a hole behind, so it looks like the hole moved.
What else can I help you with?
If a stationary electron sat inside a stationary electric field would the electric field cause the electron to move?
Yes. Stationary electric (electrostatic) fields will act on each other and a force will be developed. If you had a standing electric field and could "beam in" an electron (a la Star Trek), the electron would react at once and move either toward a positive field source or away from a negative field source. The electron would know the field was there the instant it appeared.
How many holes does SpongeBob SquarePants have on his body?
SpongeBob has 29 holes with his pants on, 40 holes with his pants off.
Why elya yelnats in book Holes by Louis Sachar decide move to America?
because madam zeroni told him to go their and their is his future
The difference between holes and electron is that?
The electron, as modeled by Alexander Burinskii, is gravitationally confined however its ring singularity is described as "naked". The electron angular momentum is too great to allow complete gravitational collapse to its Schwarzschild radius. This means that its ring singularity is not hidden behind an event horizon and so is naked. It does not collapse to undefined or infinite density. It has some, but not all of the properties that a black hole is expected to have. Further evaluation indicates electron gravitational collapse is halted at its gravitational photon orbit radius. This radius has a non-zero size so the undefined or infinite density problem is avoided.
Is the electric field caused by an electron weakest near the electron?
The electric field is stronger near the electron and becomes weaker as the distance from the electron increases.
What is the speed of electrons compara to holes?
Electrons typically move faster than holes in a semiconductor material. This is because electrons are negatively charged and can move freely through the material, while holes, which are essentially the absence of an electron, move more slowly as they are positively charged and rely on electron movement to migrate.
What is the significance of electron holes in semiconductor devices?
Electron holes in semiconductor devices play a crucial role in the flow of electrical current. When an electron moves from one atom to another in a semiconductor material, it leaves behind a hole. These holes can move through the material, allowing for the movement of charge and the creation of an electric current. By controlling the movement of electron holes, semiconductor devices can be used in a variety of electronic applications, such as transistors and diodes.
Differnce between holes and electron?
Electron: It is a negative charged elementary particle. Hole: The vacant seat of electron is called hole. It can attract an electron jumping to holes. Therefore, location of holes keep changing. it is not an ion because it is created without the removal of electron.
How are electron holes in the molecules filled?
first, the electron holes are filled with electron guillotine called flumenya, then the air absorbs the flumenya creating a hard substance called tiddita
Do mini black holes exist?
yes. some black holes are predicted to be the size of an electron.
Can you dope a semiconductor with holes instead of electrons?
Doping with Group III elements, which are missing the fourth valence electron, creates "broken bonds" (holes) in the silicon lattice that are free to move. The result is an electrically conductive p-type semiconductor.
Explain with the help of diagram how free electrons and hole contribute to electric current?
In a semiconductor material, free electrons and holes can conduct electricity. Free electrons are negatively charged particles that move in response to an electric field, creating an electron flow or current. Holes are spaces within the crystal lattice where an electron is missing, and they behave as positively charged carriers that can also move in response to an electric field, contributing to the overall current flow. Both free electrons and holes play a role in conducting electricity in semiconductors.
Do the holes actually moves hall effect?
Picture a little line of chairs with people sitting in them except the first chair. Now the person in the second chair moves to the first chair. The second chair is empty. Visualize each person in turn moving to the empty chair. The empty chair is now at the other end of the line. This is similar to the way electrons and holes appear in semiconductors. The electrons move and create holes. The holes only appear to move, but the effect is the same. Do the holes move? Effectively, yes, but only by virtue of electron movement.
What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?
The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.
Does an excited electron move up or down an energy level?
The excited electron move up.
What are the two types of current flow in a semiconductor?
The two types of current flow in a semiconductor are electron current, which is due to the movement of negatively charged electrons, and hole current, which is due to the movement of positively charged "holes" left behind when electrons move through the crystal lattice.
How does an electron move around the nucleus?
The electron has the speed of light.
