- A piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to $80$ $ K$. The resistance of
(1988, 1M)
(a) each of them increases
(b) each of them decreases
(c) copper increases and germanium decreases
(d) copper decreases and germanium increases
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 13.(d)
Solution:
Formula:
Electric Current in a Conductor:
- Copper is metal and germanium is semiconductor. Resistance of a metal decreases and that of a semiconductor increases with decrease in temperature.
