As its temperature increases, the resistivity of a conducting material generally
A) increases.
B) remains unchanged.
C) decreases.
D) all of the above may be true; the answer depends on the specific geometry of the material.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For most conducting materials, as temperature increases, the resistivity also increases due to increased lattice vibrations that scatter electrons more effectively.
