Electrons will experience a attractive force from the positive terminal, so they move towards the positive terminal of the battery by carrying the electric current.
Similarly holes will experience a attractive force from the negative terminal, so they moves towards the negative terminal of the battery by carrying the electric current.
Thus, in a semiconductor electric current is carried by both electrons and holes. In intrinsic semiconductor the number of free electrons in conduction band is equal to the number of holes in valence band.
The current caused by electrons and holes is equal in magnitude. The total current in intrinsic semiconductor is the sum of hole and electron current.
Total current = Electron current + Hole current I =
