Figure (a) and figure (b) both are showing the variation of resistivity (p) with temperature (T) for some materials. Identify the types of these materials.

A

Conductor and semiconductor

B

Conductor and Insulator

C

Insulator and semiconductor

D

Both are conductor

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In conductors due to increasein temperature the resistivity increases and in semiconductors if the decreases exponentially.
