A semiconductor has ______________ temperature coefficient of resistance?
Correct answer: C. Negative
- A. Positive
- B. Zero
- C. Negative
- D. None of the aboveCompare Local Schools
Explanation
A semiconductor has a negative temperature coefficient because heating increases the number of charge carriers and therefore increases conductivity. Its resistance consequently falls as temperature rises.
