Question:
Consider the two statements: Statement-1 For metals, relaxation time for electrons decreases with increase in temperature. Statement-2 With the increase in temperature, number of collision per unit time that electrons made with lattice ion also increases
Options:
Both 1 and 2 are true, 2 is not a correct explanation of 1
Both 1 and 2 are true, 2 is the correct explanation of 1
1 is true and 2 is false
2 is true and 1 is false
Correct Answer:
Both 1 and 2 are true, 2 is not a correct explanation of 1
Explanation:
Since in metals resistance increases with temperature so the relaxation of electrons decreases with increasing temperature and not due to collisions of electron with lattice.
