Question

The effect of increase in temperature on the number of electrons in conduction band n e n_{e} n e ​ and resistance of a semiconductor will be as:

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

With increase in temperature, more charge carriers are thermally excited into the conduction band. Conductivity increases and resistance decreases.
