How does the specific resistance of a semi-conductor change with the increase in temperature ?

The resistance of a metallic conductor increases with temperature due to.

By increasing the temperature , the specific resistance of a conductor and a semiconductor

Assertion: The resistance of a conductor decreases with increase in cross sectional area. Reason: On increasing the cross sectional area of a conductor, more current will flow through the conductor.

Assertion : Current versus potential difference (i-V) graph for a conductor at two different temperatures T_(1) and T_(2) is shown in figure. Hence T_(1)gt T_(2) . Reason : Resistance of a conductor increases with rise in temperature.

How does an increase in the temperature affect the specific resistance of a : Semiconductor ?

The resistance of a conductor depends on its

State the order of specific resistance of a semiconductor

Assertion: The resistivity of a semiconductor increases with temperature. Reason: The atoms of a semiconductor vibrate with larger amplitude at higher temperature therby increasing it resistivity.

Assertion:The electrical resistance of any object decrease with increase in its length. Reason: Electrical resistance of any object increases with increase in its area of cross-section.
