Electrical resistivity of a given metall...

Electrical resistivity of a given metallic wire depends upon :

A

its length

B

its thickness

C

its shape

D

nature of the material

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Electrical resistivity of a metallic wire depends on number density of free electrons in the conductor which is the nature of material. i.e., `p prop (1)/(n), n =` number of free electrons per unit volume. It also depends on the tamperature of conductor.
