Question

Assertion : The resistivity of a semiconductor increases with temperature.
Reason : The atoms of a semiconductor vibrate with larger amplitude at higher temperature there by increasing it's resistivity.

Answer

(d) Resistivity of semiconductors decreases with temperature. The atoms of a semiconductor vibrate with larger amplitudes at higher temperatures there by increasing it's conductivity not resistivity.
