An intrinsic semiconductor is electrically neutral. What is the electrical state of an extrinsic semiconductor?

Mobility of electrons in a semiconductor is defined as the ratio of their drift velocity to the applied electric field. If,for an $n$-type semiconductor,the density of electrons is $10^{19} \ m^{-3}$ and their mobility is $1.6 \ m^2/(V \cdot s)$,then the resistivity of the semiconductor (since it is an $n$-type semiconductor,the contribution of holes is ignored) is close to ................ $\Omega \cdot m$.

Pure silicon at $300 \ K$ has equal electron and hole concentration of $1.5 \times 10^{16} \ m^{-3}$. If the hole concentration increases to $3 \times 10^{22} \ m^{-3}$,then the electron concentration in the silicon is

In a pure silicon crystal,the electron-hole concentration is $10^{16} \ m^{-3}$ at $301 \ K$. Now,$10^{21}$ atoms of phosphorus are added per cubic metre. The new hole concentration in silicon is (in per $m^3$):
