The effect of increase in temperature on the number of electrons in conduction band ($\mathrm{n_e}$) and resistance of a semiconductor will be as:
Solution
As temperature increases $n_{e}$ increases, this results in increase in conductance.
<br/><br/>$\therefore T$ increases, $n_{e}$ increases and $R$ decreases.
