Question:

Suppose that the charge on the electrons is hypothetically doubled. How will the resistivity of the wire be affected?

Options:

It doubles

It quadruples

It halves

It becomes 1/4 times

Correct Answer:

It becomes 1/4 times

Explanation:

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

m : mass

n : number density

e : charge on electron

t : relaxation time
