The increase in temperature provides more thermal energy to the electrons in a semiconductor, allowing them to overcome the energy barriers and move more freely, increasing the conductivity. This is due to more electrons being excited to the conduction band and contributing to the electrical conduction of the material.

What is the importance of heat sink in a circuit?

Most of the electronic active components are made of semiconductors. Rise or fall in temperature will change the conductivity of a semiconductor. So in order to prevent it heat sinks are used in circuits.

Why pure semiconductor just behave like an insulator?

At absolute zero (0K), an intrinsic semiconductor will act like a perfect insulator. At this temperature, the electrons in the valence band will remain there. The heat energy required to excite the electrons from the valence band to the conduction band is insufficient at 0K. When the temperature increases, some of the electrons from the valence band got excited and moves to the conduction band. This will give rise to the conductivity of the semiconductor. i.e in 0 k(0 kelvin) the pure semi conductor the electrons in the valance band don't do any thing.They are lazy for conductivity.But when increasing the temperature increase the energy of electrons and they try to move.At the end electrons win and they can to move.So it happened a conductivity.

Viscosity increase as temperature increase?

Usually the increase in temperature decreases the viscosity of a liquid due to weakness of intermolecular attractions but some mixtures show an increase in viscosity with the rise of temperature as egg (proteins).


Is it possible to heat the body without rise in temperature?

No, the process of heating the body results in a rise in temperature. When heat is applied to the body, it absorbs the energy, leading to an increase in temperature.

What is the increase in the velocity of sound in the air for 1 degree Celsius rise in temperature?

The increase in the velocity of sound in air for a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature is approximately 0.6 m/s. This increase occurs because the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature.
