    This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2
    Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
    Statement 1: A pure semiconductor has negative temperature coefficient of resistance.
    Statement 2: On raising the temperature, more charge carriers are released into the conduction band.      [JEE ONLINE 12-05-2012]

    A) Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true.

    B) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false.

    C) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.

    D) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Temperature coefficient of resistance is negative for pure semiconductor. And no. of charge carriers in conduction band increases with increase in temperature.
