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.
Why do the semiconductors have negative temperature coefficient whereas the metals have positive values?
Semiconductors: When temperature increases, more electrons jump to conduction band from valance bond. Hence resistance decreases. Metals: Already plenty of electrons are there in conduction band. When temperature increases, the electrons in conduction band of metal vibrate and collide each other during their journey. Hence the the resistance of metal increases with increase of temperature.

If resistance decreases then power?
Resistance is decreases then the voltage drop across it is decreases because of ohms law (V=IR),due to this power can also be decreases because of P=VI. so finally we can say that resistance decreases ,power also decreases.
As the resistance in a series circuit is decreased the amount of current in the circuit increases or decreases?
Increases the total resistance
How does increasing the resistance affect the current?
Increasing resistance decreases current.
What happens to the resistance of a metal when it is heated?
its resistence considerably decreases
What is conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
Superconductors have no resistance. Conductors have low resistance, semiconductors have intermediate resistance, and insulators have high resistance.
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.
What happens to its resistance when an electrical device is heated?
That will depend on the temperature coefficient of resistance of the device, which could be positive (i.e. resistance increases with increasing temperature), negative (i.e. resistance decreases with increasing temperature), or zero (i.e. resistance is unaffected by temperature changes).

What does the slope of resistance Vs temperature curve gives?
The slope of a resistance vs. temperature curve gives the temperature coefficient of resistance, which quantifies how much the resistance of a material changes with temperature. Positive values indicate the resistance increases with temperature (e.g., in most metals), while negative values indicate the resistance decreases with temperature (e.g., in semiconductors).
Which has the lowest resistance semiconductors superconductors insulator conductor?
Superconductors have the lowest resistance of all materials, with resistance dropping to zero when they are cooled below a certain critical temperature. Conductors have lower resistance than semiconductors and insulators, which have significantly higher resistance and do not conduct electricity as effectively.
What happens if a thermistor is heated?
the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.

A heated metal block volume decreases or increases?
It decreases
What shows how conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
Superconductors have no resistance, making them the best conductors. Semiconductors have moderate resistance. Conductors have low resistance, making them better conductors than insulators, which have high resistance, making them the poorest conductors.
