The resistivity $$(\rho)$$ of semiconductor varies with temperature. Which of the following curve represents the correct behaviour?
The fundamental relationship is given by $$\rho = \frac{m}{n e^2 \tau}$$.
In semiconductors, increasing the temperature causes a rapid increase in carrier number density ($$n$$), making $$n \propto T$$.
Since $$\rho \propto \frac{1}{n} \implies \rho \propto \frac{1}{T}$$, the resulting plot forms a rectangular hyperbola.
