## Answers

### Answer by Shrikant Mishra

## Answer - (b) Silicon

## The semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic copper, and an insulator, such as glass. And its resistance decreases as the temperature increases, which is the opposite behavior of metal.
