What is Fermi level?

Answer Posted / 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 .
