If the temperature of a metallic resistor is raised, the product of its resistivity and conductivity

Options

  1. Aremains constant
  2. Bmay increase or decrease
  3. Cdecreases
  4. Dincreases

Correct answer

A. remains constant

Step-by-step solution

Resistivity ρ\rho and conductivity σ\sigma are reciprocals of each other.

σ=1ρ\sigma = \dfrac{1}{\rho}

The product of resistivity and conductivity is ρσ=ρ(1ρ)=1\rho \sigma = \rho \left(\dfrac{1}{\rho}\right) = 1.

Since the product is always equal to 11, it is independent of temperature. Thus, when the temperature of a metallic resistor is raised, the product of its resistivity and conductivity remains constant.
