Q. A piece of semiconductor is connected in series in an electric circuit. On increasing the temperature, the current in the circuit will
A) Decrease
B) Remain unchanged
C) Increase
D) Stop flowing
Explanation
(c) Because with rise in temperature, resistance of semiconductor decreases, hence overall resistance of the circuit decreases which in turn increases the current in the circuit
