When a sample of germanium and silicon having same impurity density are kept at room temperature then resistivity of both?

The resistivity of germanium will decrease with increasing temperature due to a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity, while the resistivity of silicon will increase with increasing temperature due to a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. At room temperature, silicon will have a higher resistivity compared to germanium.


What is the resistivity of germanium if they compared to glass?

glass is an insulator, germanium is a metalloid.


When a piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to 800 K then the resistance?

The resistance of the copper piece will increase, while the resistance of the germanium piece will decrease as they are both cooled from room temperature to 800 K. This is because the resistivity of metals like copper generally increases with decreasing temperature, while for semiconductors like germanium, the resistivity decreases with decreasing temperature.


What are semi conducting substances?

Those which have resistivity in between conductors and insulators are known as semi conductors. Germanium and Silicon are very good examples of semiconducting materials whose resistivity of the order of 10 -2 to 10 4 ohm meter.

Does high resistivity have a higher number or lower number?

High resistivity corresponds to a higher numerical value. In the context of materials, resistivity is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current; materials with high resistivity, like rubber or glass, have larger resistivity values compared to conductive materials like copper or aluminum, which have low resistivity values.
