Exercise: Semiconductor Principles

Questions for: Semiconductor Principles

If conductance increases as temperature increases, this is known as a:
A:
positive coefficient
B:
negative current flow
C:
negative coefficient
D:
positive resistance
Answer: C

A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) occurs when the thermal conductivity of a material rises with increasing temperature, typically in a defined temperature range.

Note: The reciprocal of electrical Resistance is called Conductance.
