Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors question from MHT CET 2025 (25 Apr, Shift 2)

Q15MHT CET 2025 · 25 APR · SHIFT 2Easy

Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors

A piece of semiconductor is connected in series in an electric circuit. On increasing the temperature, the current in the circuit will

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Raising $T$ breaks more covalent bonds, creating more electron-hole pairs.
More carriers lowers the resistance of the semiconductor, so $I = V/R$ rises.
So the answer is (c) increase.
