Q. The temperature dependence of resistances of $Cu$ and undoped $Si$ in the temperature range $300-400 \, K$, is best described by :
JEE Main
JEE Main 2016
Current Electricity
A
Linear increase for Cu, linear increase for Si.
20%
B
Linear increase for Cu, exponential increase for Si.
17%
C
Linear increase for Cu, exponential decrease for Si.
60%
D
Linear decrease for Cu, linear decrease for Si.
4%
Solution:
As we know $Cu$ is conductor, so with increase in temperature, resistance will increase. Then, $Si$ is semiconductor, so with increase in temperature, resistance will decreases.
