A piece of copper and the other of geramnium are cooled from the room temperature to 80K . What will happen to their resistance ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Copper is conductor and germanium is semiconductor . With decrease in temperature resistance of a conductor decreases and that of semiconductor increases . Therefore resistance of copper will decrease and that of semiconductor will increase.
