Explain the effect of temperature on the resistivity of pure semiconductors.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

With the rise in temperature of the conductor, amplitude of the vibrations of ions also increases. As a result free electrons collide more frequently with the vibrating ions and hence the resistance of the metallic wire increases.
