The electrical resistivity of a semiconductor :

A

increases with temperature

B

decreases with temperature

C

increases at low temperature and then decrease

D

does not change with temperature

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Resistivity of semiconductors decreases with increase in temperature because at high temperature , the number of current carriers increases.
