    In which one of the following substances the resistance decreases with increase of temperature?

    A)  Carbon                

    B)  Copper

    C)  Silver                                   

    D)  Gold

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Near room temperature, the electric resistance of a typical metal conductor increases linearly with temperature. \[R={{R}_{0}}(1+\alpha T)\] For example; copper, silver, gold. The electric resistance of a typical intrinsic semiconductor decreases exponentially with temperature.                 \[R={{R}_{0}}{{e}^{a/T}}\] For example; carbon.
