Why the resistance of the conductor increases with rise in temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Resistances `R=(ml)/("ne"^(2)tauA)`
When the temperature of the conductor is increased the electrons begin to collied more frequently with atoms and ions. So the relaxation frequently with atoms and ions. So the relaxation time `tau` decreases. Consequently the resistance increases.
