उत्तर
Pieces of copper and of silicon are initially at room temperature. Both are heated to temperature T. The conductivity of copper decreases and silicon increases.
Explanation:
The resistance of copper wire increases with temperature, which causes a drop in conductivity, while the resistance of silicon wire reduces with temperature, which causes an increase in conductivity.
