As the temperature increases, the electrical resistance
- AIncreases for both conductors and semiconductors
- BDecreases for both conductors and semiconductors
- CIncreases for conductors but decreases for semiconductors
- DDecreases for conductors but increases for semiconductors
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
As the temperature increases the resistivity of the conductor increases hence the electrical resistance increases. However for semiconductor the resistivity decreases with the temperature. Hence electrical resistance of semiconductor decreases.
