What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a semiconductor material on its electrical conductivity?
What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a semiconductor material on its electrical conductivity?
- It increases due to an increase in the thermal energy of the charge carriers (correct)
- It remains constant as the temperature has no effect on the charge carriers
- It decreases due to a decrease in the thermal energy of the charge carriers
- It has a variable effect depending on the type of semiconductor material
