With rise in temperature the resistance of semi-conductors_________________?
Correct answer: A. decreases
- A. decreases
- B. increases
- C. first increases and then decreases
- D. remains constant
Explanation
In semiconductors, increasing temperature generates more charge carriers, so conductivity rises and resistance falls. This is opposite to the usual behaviour of pure metals.
