This question has Statement I and Statement II. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement -I: Sudden expansion of ideal gases from high pressure to low pressure, will not show any temperature change. Statement - II : Intermolecular force and joule- Thomson coefficient of ideal gases is zero.

The resistance R of a conducting wire depends on its material , length l and area of cross section A. The resistivity of the material of the wire is rho=(RA)l the value of rho is for different materials .It is very low for conducting materials like metals,Besides, the resistance of a conductor also depends on its temperature. IF the resistance of a conductor is R_0 at 0^@C and R_1 at t^@C , then R_1=R_0(1+at) where a is called the temperature coefficient of resistance. The resistance increases with temperature for metallic conductors but decreases for graphite,a few metal alloys,and for semiconductors like silicon and germanium. The resistance of a metal wire increases by 10% when its temperature rises from 10^@C to 110^@C .The temperature coefficient of resistance of the metal is
