Question

Why The Resistance Of Semiconductors Decrease With Increase In Temperature

Open in App

Solution

Dear student
The given nature of material is of semi conductor.

When temperature of the semiconductor increases more free electrons are generated and contribute to the conductivity, hence conductivity increases and resistance decreases.
