Q. Solids which conduct electricity at higher temperature but not at lower temperature are called__:
Answer: semi-conductor
Notes: Semiconductors are insulators at low temperatures and reasonably good conductors at higher temperatures. As temperature increases, the semiconductor material such as silicon, germanium, etc. becomes a better and better conductor compared to metallic conductor in which the resistance increases with increase in temperature.
