What is Fermi level?..

Answer / vivek

Fermi level in an intrinsic semiconductor; located not
exactly in the center of the energy gap because of the
different effective mass of electron and hole.

energy level in solids at which the Fermi-Dirac
distribution function is equal to 0.5.

What is Fermi level?..

Answer / riya bipradas pal

Fermi level lies in between (may not be exactly at the center) the conduction band band and the valence band . An electron can only reach the conduction band from the valance band only if it has got energy higher than the energy of the fermi level energy or fermi band energy .
