A piece of silver and another of silicon are cooled from 15 ℃ to 3 ℃. What will be the effect on resistance of each?
- A Silver: increases ; Silicon : increases
- B Silver: decreases ; Silicon : increases
- C Silver: increases ; Silicon : decreases
- D Silver: decreases ; Silicon : decreases
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Silver: decreases ; Silicon : increases
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Silver (Conductor): It has a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, so as it is cooled, the thermal vibrations of the atoms decrease, allowing electrons to flow more easily and causing the resistance to decrease. Silicon (Semiconductor): It has a negative temperature…

The coordination compounds are of great importance. These compounds are widely present in the mineral, plants and animal world and are known to play many important functions in the area of analytical chemistry, metallurgy, biological systems, industry and medicine. For example, coordination compounds find use in many qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Some important metal extraction and purification make use of complex formation. Hardness of water can be estimated by stable complex formation of Ca\(^{2+}\) and Mg\(^{2+}\)
