If the temperature of a metallic resistor is raised, the product of its resistivity and conductivity
Options
- Aremains constant
- Bmay increase or decrease
- Cdecreases
- Dincreases
Correct answer
A. remains constant
Step-by-step solution
Resistivity and conductivity are reciprocals of each other.
The product of resistivity and conductivity is .
Since the product is always equal to , it is independent of temperature. Thus, when the temperature of a metallic resistor is raised, the product of its resistivity and conductivity remains constant.
