उत्तर
As the semiconductors at room temperature act as insulators so they offer very high resistance value. But with the increase in temperature, they start conducting by decreasing the energy-gap and hence they offer less resistivity. So, the resistivity of semiconductors decreases with the increase in temperature and as a result resistance also decreases.
So to maintain the constant reading on the ammeter, we should increase the value of variable resistance R to compensate with the decreased value of resistance for semiconductor.
