. The resistance of
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Germanium is a semiconductor and copper is a metal.
On cooling semiconductors resistance increases whereas conductors resistance decreases. Semiconductors resistance increases as no. of electrons & holes concentration decreases due to decrease in temperature.
