Question on: JAMB Physics - 2008
When a pure semiconductor is heated, its resistance
A
increases
B
decreases
C
remains the same
D
increases and then decreases
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Heating a pure semiconductor increases the mobility of electrons and holes and hence the conductivity. thus, the resistance decreases on heating
