MCQ
Which among the following has weak temperature dependence values with resistivity?
- ASilver
- BCopper
- ✓Nichrome
- DGermanium
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Nichrome
Alloys have high resistivity. The resistivity of nichrome has weak temperature dependence. At absolute zero, a pure metal has negligibly small resistivity while an alloy like nichrome has some residual resistivity.
