Why does resistance of a conductor increase in increasing temperature

Open in App

Solution

Mobility is the freedom with which the electrons can move in a conductor. With increase in temperature of the conductor , the thermal energy of the electrons increases , which becomes a retardation for the motion due to excess number of collisions.
