Q. A semiconductor has ???? temperature coefficient of resistance.

A
Positive
B
Zero
C
Negative
D
None of the above
Solution:

Coefficients approaching zero can be obtained by alloying certain metals. A negative coefficient for a material means that its resistance decreases with an increase in temperature. Semiconductor materials (carbon, silicon, germanium) typically have negative temperature coefficients of resistance.
