प्रश्न
In the following diagram 'S' is a semiconductor. Would you increase or decrease the value of R to keep the reading of the ammeter A constant when S is heated? Give reason for your answer.
उत्तर
As the semiconductors at room temperature act as insulators so they offer very high resistance value. But with the increase in temperature, they start conducting by decreasing the energy-gap and hence they offer less resistivity. So, the resistivity of semiconductors decreases with the increase in temperature and as a result resistance also decreases.
So to maintain the constant reading on the ammeter, we should increase the value of variable resistance R to compensate with the decreased value of resistance for semiconductor.
