MCQ
Identify the material which is suitable for making standard resistors.
  • A
    Silver
  • B
    Copper
  • C
    Constantan
  • D
    Germanium

Answer

  1. Constantan

Explanation:

Alloys like constantan or manganin are used for making standard resistance coils due to their high resistivity values and very small temperature coefficient.
