प्रश्न
Why is temperature co-efficient of resistance negative for semiconductor?
उत्तर
With the increase in temperature, the concentration of charge carriers (electrons and holes) increases. As more charge carriers are made available, the conductivity of a pure semiconductor increases i.e. resistivity of a pure semiconductor decreases with the rise in temperature i.e. semiconductors have a negative temperature coefficient of resistance.
