Question:
Which of the following material acts as a semiconductor at 298 K?
Which of the following material acts as a semiconductor at 298 K?
Show Hint
Semiconductors have electrical conductivity that lies between conductors and insulators. Their conductivity increases with temperature.
Updated On: Mar 7, 2025
- Iron
- Copper oxide
- Sodium
- Graphite
- Glass
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
At room temperature (298 K), Copper oxide (\(CuO\)) behaves as a semiconductor, as its electrical conductivity increases with temperature, which is characteristic of semiconductors.
