By increasing the temperature, the specific resistance of a conductor and a semiconductor

  1. A increases for both
  2. B decreases for both
  3. C increases and decreases, respectively
  4. D decreases and increases, respectively
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) increases and decreases, respectively

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a conductor, increasing temperature causes more frequent collisions between electrons and vibrating lattice ions, which increases specific resistance. In a semiconductor, higher temperatures provide enough energy to break covalent bonds and release more charge carriers, which…
