At zero Kelvin a piece of germanium

A

Becomes semiconductor

B

Becomes good conductor

C

Becomes bad conductor

D

has maximum conductivity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
At zero Kelvin, there is no thermal agitation and therefore no electrons from valence band are able to shift to conduction band.
