The no of electrons in the conduction band increases when the temperature of the semiconductor material increases. therefore resistance decreases. This is also know as "Negative temperature coefficient"

When the temperature increases thermistor resistance decreases?

Yes, that's correct. In a thermistor, which is a type of temperature-sensitive resistor, the resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This is because the conductivity of the thermistor material increases with temperature, causing the resistance to decrease.


Why does the resistance of a thermistor decrease as the temperature rises?

Some materials have negative temperature coefficients of resistance, and some have positive temperature coefficients. Carbon is an example of a substance with a negative thermal coefficient of resistance, so it's resistance will decrease as it gets hotter.


Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?

Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.


How does temperature affect the resistance of conducting materials?

As temperature increases, the resistance of conducting materials also typically increases. This is because as temperature rises, the atoms in the material vibrate more, leading to more collisions with electrons, which in turn increases resistance. Conversely, as temperature decreases, resistance tends to decrease as well.


Will the resistance increase when the temperature increases in a semiconductor?

NO. In a semiconductor the resistance decreases with increase of temperature. It is their natural behavior unlike conductors and insulators. If we decrease the temperature their resistance increases. At 0 degree kelvin all semiconductors will act like perfect insulators.


If a carbon resistor increases in temperature its resistance will?

This depends on the type of conductor. If the conductor has a positive coefficient the resistance will increase. If the conductor has a negative temperature coefficient the resistance will decrease.


Why does resistance decrease as the NTC Resitor becomes warmer?

In NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) resistors, as the temperature increases, the number of charge carriers also increases. This results in more electron movement, decreasing the resistance. The relationship between temperature and resistance in NTC resistors is inversely proportional.


How the resistance of conducting material vary with temperature?

Well, there's typically two types of materials-Those with positive temperature coefficient and those with negative temperature coefficient. Positive temperature coefficient are those whose resistance increases as temperature increases. Negative temperature cofficient are those whose resistance decrease when the temperature increase. There are however some alloys such as Manganin& Constantan whose resistance is not affected by temperature


How are viscosity and temperature related?

Viscosity and temperature are inversely related. As temperature increases, the viscosity of a liquid typically decreases. This is because higher temperatures cause molecules to move more freely, leading to a decrease in the resistance to flow and a decrease in viscosity.


The solubility of gases do what as temperature increases?

The solubility of gases decrease as temperature increases.


When the fluids temperature increases does the density decrease decrease?

Yes!


In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?

Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
