Assessment: JAMB UTME - Physics - 2004 Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

For semi conductor to have negative temperature coefficient of resistance implies that
Answer Details
Temperature coefficient of resistance is given by
α = Increase in resistance per oC rise in temp.
__resistance at 0oC

And for metals where resistance increase with temperature rise, temperature coefficient of resistance is positive; on the other hand in semi conductors, where resistance decrease with temperature rise, temperature coefficient of resistance is negative.
