    The electrical conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor at OK is

    A)  less than that of an insulator

    B)  is equal to zero

    C)  is equal to infinity

    D)  more than that of an insulator

    E)  is equal to that of a metal

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor decreases with decrease in temperature and so it behaves as an insulator at 0 K. The conductivity of an insulator is zero. Therefore, the electrical conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor at 0 K is equal to zero.
