As the temperature increases, the electrical resistance

  1. Increases for both conductors and semiconductors
  2. Decreases for both conductors and semiconductors
  3. Increases for conductors but decreases for semiconductors
  4. Decreases for conductors but increases for semiconductors

Answer

(3) Increases for conductors but decreases for semiconductors

Solution

Conductors (metals): with rise in temperature, collisions become more frequent, the relaxation time decreases and = mne2 increases resistance increases.

Semiconductors: with rise in temperature, more electrons cross the band gap, so n increases sharply resistivity (and resistance) decreases.

Answer: (3)
