MCQ
Which of the following quantities do not change when a resistor connected to a battery is heated due to the current?
  • A
    Drift speed.
  • B
    Resistivity.
  • C
    Resistance.
  • Number of free electrons.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Number of free electrons.
When a resistor connected to a battery is heated due to the current that causes drift speed, resistivity & resistance may e change But number of free electrons remains same.
