Q.

As the temperature increases, the electrical resistance                  [2022]

1 increase for both conductors and semiconductors  
2 decreases for both conductors and semiconductors  
3 increases for conductors but decrease for semiconductors  
4 decreases for conductors but increases for semiconductors  

Ans.

(3)

The temperature coefficient of resistance (α) is positive for conductors and negative for insulators.

So, as the temperature increases, the resistance of conductor increases and for semiconductors decreases.
