Question

Which one of the following behaves like an intrinsic semiconductor, at absolute zero temperature?

• A. Superconductor
• B. Insulator
• C. n-type semiconductor
• D. p-type semiconductor

Hint:

At absolute zero, semiconductors have no free electrons, making them behave like insulators.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding semiconductors at absolute zero. 
- At 0 K, semiconductors behave as perfect insulators because no electrons are thermally excited to the conduction ban(D) 
Step 2: Selecting the correct option. 
Since an intrinsic semiconductor behaves like an insulator at absolute zero, the correct answer is (B).
