The following graph shows the effect of temperature on the characteristics of diode A-B curve: This curve shows the characteristics of diode for different temperatures in the forward biase. As we can see from the figure given above, that curve moves towards left as we increase the temperature. We know with increase in temperature, conductivity […]

Effect of temperature on the material
Insulators: With increase in temperature, the conducting property increases. So we call the semi-conductor material have negative temperature coefficient i.e. with increase in temperature, resistance decreases. Semiconductors: With increase in temperature, the conductivity of the semi-conductor material increases. As with increase in temperature, outermost electrons acquire energy and hence by acquiring energy, the outermost electrons leave the […]
