How to change the file location of Tempdb database - SQL Server

What is tempdb?

The tempdb database is a global resource that is available to all users connected to the instance of SQL Server System. This tempdb database is maintains user defined global or local temporary tables, temporary stored procedures, table variables, cursors along with database engine defined versions of the tables for snapshot isolation and temporary sorted rowsets when rebuilding indexes.

Tempdb database information is stored in the tempdb.mdf data file and templog.ldf log file. Tempdb database size is effect on the performance of user defined database operation. Temporary stored information is dropped automatically when shut down SQL Server System and tempdb is re-created automatically when SQL Server is started so the system starts with a clean copy of the database.
