The electron concentration in an \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type semiconductor is the same as the hole concentration in a \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type semiconductor. An external field (electric) is applied across each of them. Compare the currents in them.

1. current in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type \(>\) current in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type.
2. no current will flow in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type, current will only flow in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type.
3. current in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type \(=\) current in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type.
4. current in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type \(>\) current in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type.
