A piece of semiconductors is connected in sereis in an electric circuit. On increasing the temperautre, the current in the circuit will

A

Decreases

B

Remain unchanged

C

Increase

D

Stop flowing

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Because with rise in temperature, resistance of semiconductor decreases, hence overall resistance of the circuit increases, which in turn increases the current in the circuit.
