MCQ
The solids which have the negative temperature coefficient of resistance are :
  • Insulators and semiconductors
  • B
    metals
  • C
    insulators only
  • D
    semiconductors only

Answer

Correct option: A.
Insulators and semiconductors
a
The negative temperature coefficient of the resistance is only present in the insulators or the semiconductors. In these, the resistance decreases with increase in temperature.
