An electric field is applied to a semiconductor. Let the number of charge carries benand the average drift speed bev. If the temperature is increased, then

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

As the temperature is increased, more electrons are able to move from valance band to conduction band, hence the number of charge carriers increases but with increase in the temperature the frequency of collisions increases so the average drift speed decreases
