Q. The effect of increase in temperature on the number of electrons in conduction band $\left( n _{ e }\right)$ and resistance of a semiconductor will be as:

JEE MainJEE Main 2023Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

As temperature increases, more electron excite to conduction band and hence conductivity increases, therefore resistance decreases.
