Question:
Which one of the following behaves like an intrinsic semiconductor, at absolute zero temperature?
Which one of the following behaves like an intrinsic semiconductor, at absolute zero temperature?
Show Hint
At absolute zero, semiconductors have no free electrons, making them behave like insulators.

- Superconductor
- Insulator
- n-type semiconductor
- p-type semiconductor
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding semiconductors at absolute zero. - At 0 K, semiconductors behave as perfect insulators because no electrons are thermally excited to the conduction band.
Step 2: Selecting the correct option. Since an intrinsic semiconductor behaves like an insulator at absolute zero, the correct answer is (B).
