Answer (a)
Answer (b)
Population ratio = exp ( - Eg/ KT), So, with increasing temperature population ratio also increase and conductivity of intrinsic semiconductor increase the electrons surrounding the semiconductor atoms can break away from their covalent bond and move freely about the lattice.
The main effect of temperature on an intrinsic semiconductor is that resistivity decreases with an increase in temperature. This is because heating increases the concentration of electrons and holes because electron/hole pairs are thermally generated at a higher rate.
