Question

A pure semiconductor behaves slightly as a conductor at: (A) high temperature (B) room temperature (C) low temperature (D) none of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

As it is quite clear that at room temperature, few electrons is in valence band acquire energy greater than the forbidden energy emf gap and move to the conduction band. Hence, at room temperature, a pure semiconductor behave like slightly as a conductor.

Q. A pure semiconductor behaves slightly as a conductor at:

high temperature

room temperature

low temperature

none of these

As it is quite clear that at room temperature, few electrons is in valence band acquire energy greater than the forbidden energy emf gap and move to the conduction band. Hence, at room temperature, a pure semiconductor behave like slightly as a conductor.
