[EAMCET (Med.) 1995; KCET (Engg./Med.) 1999; MP PET 2000; CBSE PMT 2001]
Options:
A) $ 0{}^\circ C $
B) $ -100{}^\circ C $
C) $ 300\ K $
D) $ 0\ K $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
At 0K temperature semiconductor behaves as an insulator, because at very low temperature electrons cannot jump from the valence band to conduction band.
