Question

As the temperature of a metallic resistor is increased, the product of its resistivity and conductivity
(a) increases
(b) decreases
(c) remains constant
(d) may increase or decrease

Open in App

Solution

(d) may increase or decrease

The product of resistivity and conductivity is independent of temperature. As the temperature of a metallic resistor is increased, the resistivity increases and conductivity decreases. Hence, both the conductivity and resistivity of the metallic resistor nullify the effect of the change in temperature.
