The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor decreases with decreasing temperature. How can this be rationalized? O Decreasing temperature increases energy of the band gap. O Decreasing temperature increases energy available for electrons to jump the band gap. Decreasing temperature decreases energy of the band gap. O Decreasing temperature decreases energy available for electrons to jump the band gap.
