उत्तर
With an increase in the temperature, the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases.
Explanation:
With increase in temperature, the number of electrons from the valence band can jump to the conduction band in semiconductor. Hence, the conductivity of a semiconductor increases.

- Assertion (A): Putting the p-type semiconductor slab directly in physical contact with the n-type semiconductor slab cannot form the pn junction.
- Reason (R): The roughness at contact will be much more than inter atomic crystal spacing and continuous flow of charge carriers is not possible.
Which type of dopant is boron (B)?
Why are different impurities added to semiconductors?
