Question:

If the relaxation time of the collision of electrons increases by a factor 2, what happens to the resistivity of the material?

Options:

It doubles

It becomes four times

It halves

It becomes 1/4 times

Correct Answer:

It halves

Explanation:

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

m : mass

n : number density

e : charge on electron

t : relaxation time
