Question
Identify the type of conductor represented by the V-I characteristic curve given below.
✓
Answer
- Semiconductor
The V-I graph gives the characteristic of a semiconductor. It exhibits non-linear behaviour. After a certain voltage, the current decreases as the voltage increases. Gallium arsenide shows this type of behaviour.
