With increase in temperature, the electrical conductivity would
A.
increase in metals as well as in intrinsic semiconductor
|
B.
increase in metals but decrease in intrinsic semiconductor
|
C.
decrease in metals but increase in intrinsic semiconductor
|
D.
decrease in metals as well as in intrinsic semiconductor
|
Answer : Option C
Explanation :
Increase in temperature causes resistivity of metals to increase and resistivity of intrinsic semiconductors to decrease.
Conductivity is reciprocal of resistivity.
