Question

State the effect of temperature on conductors insulators and semiconductors

Answer 1

Effect of temperature

Explanation:

Conductors:  

The electrical conductivity of a conductor will decrease with an increase in temperature. So when temperature reduces, conductivity of a conductor increases.

Insulators:

With the increase in temperature, the conducting property of insulators increases. So when temperature reduces, insulation increases.

Semiconductors:

When a semiconductor is heated, the conductance increases and the resistance decreases. So when temperature increases, conductivity increases. When temperature decreases, conductivity of a semiconductor decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

In conductors

R is directly proportional to temperature

in semiconductor

R is inversely proportional to temperature ️

•conductivity increases with increasing temperature

•Resistance decreases with increasing temperature
