(b) Alloys usually have much (lower/higher) temperaturecoefficients of resistance than pure metals. (c) The resistivity of the alloy manganin is nearly independent of/increases rapidly with increase of temperature. (d) The resistivity of a typical insulator (e.g., amber) is greater thanthat of a metal by a factor of the order of (1022/1023).
