Semiconductors can simplistically be thought of as an intermediate state between insulators and conductors. In a semiconductor, charges are normally bound in place (like in an insulator), but when injected with enough energy, the charges can move freely (like in a conductor). Given what we have observed about the behavior of conductors and insulators in this exploration, what would happen if we replaced the glass rod with a semiconductor material

Respuesta :

Answer:

The semiconductor rod will conduct electricity

Explanation:

Glass rod does not conduct electricity. Glass is one of the best insulators of electricity. But when a glass rod is replace with a semi conductor, then the semi conductor rod starts conducting electricity as the electrons are free to move.

Semi conductors are special materials in which the energy band lies in between the conductor and the non conductor. The conductivity of a semi conductor increases with the increasing temperature.

In an semi conductor the electrons are free to move and as they starts moving they conduct electricity. Thus a semi conductor rod replacing a glass rod conducts electricity.
