Exams › NEET › Physics

The solids which have the negative temperature coefficient of resistance are:

1. insulators only
2. semiconductors only
3. insulators and semiconductors
4. metals

Correct answer: insulators and semiconductors

Solution

Semiconductors and insulators both exhibit a negative temperature coefficient of resistance, meaning their resistance decreases as temperature increases, due to increased charge carrier availability.
