प्रश्न
With an increase in the temperature, the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor ______.
पर्याय
decreases.
increases.
does not change.
first increases and then decreases.
उत्तर
With an increase in the temperature, the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases.
Explanation:
With increase in temperature, the number of electrons from the valence band can jump to the conduction band in semiconductor. Hence, the conductivity of a semiconductor increases.
