This function can calculate any one of the three -
1. Electron Concentration
2, Hole Concentration
3. Intrinsic Concentration

Examples -
>>> carrier_concentration(electron_conc=25, hole_conc=100, intrinsic_conc=0)
('intrinsic_conc', 50.0)
>>> carrier_concentration(electron_conc=0, hole_conc=1600, intrinsic_conc=200)
('electron_conc', 25.0)
>>> carrier_concentration(electron_conc=1000, hole_conc=0, intrinsic_conc=1200)
('hole_conc', 1440.0)
