Question:

If instead of electrons, carriers of mass double the mass of electrons are used in the conductor, then how will the resistivity be affected?

Options:

It halves

It doubles 

It quadruples

Becomes 1/4

Correct Answer:

It doubles 

Explanation:

Resistivity : ρ = \(\frac{m}{ne^{2}t}\)

m : mass

n : number density

e : charge on electron

t : relaxation time
