JEE Main & Advanced Physics Semiconducting Devices Question Bank Semiconductors

  • question_answer
    Wires P and Q have the same resistance at ordinary (room) temperature. When heated, resistance of \[P\] increases and that of Q decreases. We conclude that [MP PMT 1995; MP PET 2001]

    A)            P and Q are conductors of different materials

    B)            P is N-type semiconductor and Q is P-type semiconductor

    C)            P is semiconductor and Q is conductor

    D)            P is conductor and Q is semiconductor

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Conductor has positive temperature coefficient of resistance but semiconductor has negative temperature coefficient of resistance.
