Q8 of 30 Page 201

The conductivity of a semiconductor increases with increase in temperature because

If temperature increases, electron-hole pair will be generated more at the PN junction. If carrier increases are increased the conductivity also increase. And relaxation time will decrease when temperature increases. So conductivity depends upon the temperature.
