Let $n_e$ be the number density of electrons and $v_d$ be the drift velocity in a semiconductor. When the temperature is increased:

  • A
    $n_e$ increases and $v_d$ decreases
  • B
    $n_e$ decreases and $v_d$ increases
  • C
    Both $n_e$ and $v_d$ increase
  • D
    Both $n_e$ and $v_d$ decrease
