The temperature (T) dependence of resistivity `(rho)` of a semiconductor is reprresented by

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The variation of specific resitance with temperature is given by
`rho=rho_(0)[1+alpha(T-T_(0)]`
Where `alpha`=temprature coefficient of resitance which in negativee for semicondutor.
`rho=rho_(0)-rho_(o)`alpha`(T-T_(0))`
Comaring with straight line equation,`y=mx+cimplies`m,slope is negative.
