Single Choice

Among the following, the wrong statement in the case of semiconductor is:

AResistivity is in between that of a conductor and insulator.
BTemperature coefficient of resistance is negative.
CDoping increases conductivity.
DAt absolute zero temperature, it behaves like a conductor.
Correct Answer

Solution

For semiconductor, as the temperature coefficient of resistance is negative, at absolute zero temperature, it behaves like an insulator.
