Question:

Compare the resistivities of a metallic material at absolute zero temperature and at room temperature.

Options:

At room temperature, the resistivity is greater.

At absolute zero temperature, the resistivity is greater.

The resistivities are same at both the temperatures.

The behaviour of the resistivities cannot be predicted.

Correct Answer:

At room temperature, the resistivity is greater.

Explanation:

As temperature rises, the relaxation time decreases and the resistivity increases.
