What happens to the resistance of a conductor if its temperature increases?
Correct Answer: Resistance increases.
- Step 1: Understand what a conductor is. A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, like copper or aluminum.
- Step 2: Know what resistance means. Resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electricity.
- Step 3: Learn about temperature. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
- Step 4: Realize that when the temperature of a conductor increases, the atoms in the conductor start to vibrate more.
- Step 5: Understand that these increased vibrations make it harder for electricity to flow through the conductor.
- Step 6: Conclude that as a result, the resistance of the conductor increases when its temperature goes up.
