Single Choice

The intrinsic semiconductor behaves as insulator at

A$$0^{0}C$$
B$$100^{0}C$$
C$$100\ K$$
D$$0\ K$$
Correct Answer

Solution

Conductivity of semiconductor increases with increase in temperature and vice-versa.
Therefore, conductivity of intrinsic semiconductor is zero (insulator) at $$0\ K$$.
