What is the effect of temperature on resistance of different metals?

Answer 1

with increase temperature in metal, thermal energy causes atoms in metal to vibrate, in this excited state atoms interact with and scatter electrons, thus decreasing the mean free path, and hence the mobility of electrons to decreases and resistivity increase

(Resistivity = 1 / Conductivity )

so conductivity of metal decrease as increasing in temperature

Answer 2

For any conductor, and passive devices, such as coils and resistors, electrical resistance increases with rising temperature. With semiconductor devices - transistors and diodes - the resistance across the device decreases as temperature increases.

Answer 3

The effect of temperature on resistance of a given material depends on the material. In conductors, an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the resistance. In semiconductor materials, increasing temperature will result in a decrease in resistance.

Answer 4

as the temperature increase, the resistance tends to increase.

However, there are two types to this: Ohmic and non-Ohmic

Ohmic resistor's resistance increase with temp linearly whereas non-Ohmic would have a curve(e-function)

Answer 5

Temperature affects resistance as the wire goes five million the triple ten

Answer 6

Increasing the temperature the reactivity is generally increased.

Answer 7

effect of temperature on resistance of different metals

Answer 8

As temperature increases, the rate of reaction increases for any substance or compound.

Answer 9

For pure metal conductors, their resistivity increases with temperature. As a result, their resistance will increase with temperature.
