Temperature variation of resistance of a semiconductor
Purpose: -
Study the variability of semiconductor temperatures.
Apparatus:-
DC source, milli-ammeter, voltmeter PN diode, thermometer, beaker, electric heater, connecting cables.
Theory:-
A semiconductor is a temperature-sensitive device with a negative coefficient of temperature resistance.it is because the valence electron jumps into the conduction state.
Process: -
1. The connection is made as shown in the picture.
2. Set a permanent DC source.
3. Heat water to 80 degrees
4. In every 5 falls
5. Plot graph of R v / s T & log R v / s 1 / T.
Tabular column:-
α = -2.303 × logR1-logR2 / T2-T1
Result: -
Note that as the temperature increases resistance decreases.
Value of temperature co-efficient is ____
