    This function can calculate any one of the three -
    1. Electron Concentration
    2, Hole Concentration
    3. Intrinsic Concentration
    given the other two.
    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)
    >>> carrier_concentration(electron_conc=1000, hole_conc=400, intrinsic_conc=1200)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: You cannot supply more or less than 2 values
    >>> carrier_concentration(electron_conc=-1000, hole_conc=0, intrinsic_conc=1200)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: Electron concentration cannot be negative in a semiconductor
