- MCQ
The effect of increase in temperature on the number of electrons in conduction band \(\left( n _{ e }\right)\) and resistance of a semiconductor will be as:
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(n _{ e }\) increases, resistance decreases
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As temperature increases, more electron excite to conduction band and hence conductivity increases, therefore resistance decreases.
