Answer Posted / kavita
At 0k,electrons do not have sufficient energy to jump from
valance band to conduction band and therefore it acts as an
insulator.
As the temperature increases, electrons get energy to pass
from valance band to conduction band making it to conduct.
As the temperature increases further more and more electrons
get energy and crosses the forbidden energy gap increasing
the conductivity.
