A piece of copper and a piece of germanium are cooled from room temperature 20 C down to 80 K. The resistance of
- A both of them will increase.
- B both of them will decreases.
- C copper increases and that of germanium decreases.
- D copper decreases and that of germanium increases.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) copper decreases and that of germanium increases.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Copper is a metal; its resistance decreases with decreasing temperature. Germanium is a semiconductor; its resistance increases with decreasing temperature. Result: copper decreases and that of germanium increases.
