    The Correct Answer Is A

    At absolute zero, at (0 K), the covalent bonds between atoms in a semiconductor are complete. They are held at their mean position, and cannot vibrate. As a result, there are no free electrons available for the conduction of current. Hence, the semiconductor behaves as an insulator at T=0K.

    The correct answer is [A] like an insulator

    • At absolute zero temperature, a semiconductor behaves like an insulator.
    • This is because the free electrons that are responsible for the conductivity in a semiconductor are found in the valence band at absolute zero.
    • As the temperature increases, the conductivity of metal also increases, but for semiconductors, this is not the case.
    • The conductivity of a semiconductor is temperature dependent and as the temperature decreases, the conductivity also decreases. Practically, the conductivity of a semiconductor at an absolute zero temperature is close to zero.

    The correct answer is [A] like an insulator
