MCQ
Specific resistance of a conductor increases with
- AIncrease in cross section area
- ✓Increase in temperature
- CIncrease in cross section and decrease in length
- DDecrease in cross section area
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Increase in temperature
b
specific resistance is a property of a material and it will increase with the increase of temperature, but will not vary with the dimensions (length, crosssection) of the conductor
