Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a conductor on its resistance? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what a conductor is. A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
  • Step 2: Know that resistance is a measure of how much a conductor opposes the flow of electricity.
  • Step 3: Learn that temperature can affect how well a conductor works.
  • Step 4: When the temperature of a conductor increases, the atoms in the conductor move faster.
  • Step 5: Faster-moving atoms make it harder for electricity to flow through the conductor.
  • Step 6: As a result, the resistance of the conductor increases when the temperature goes up.
