Choose the correct alternative: (a) Alloys of metals usually have (greater/less) resistivity than that of their constituent metals. (b) Alloys usually have much (lower/higher) temperature coefficients of resistance than pure metals. (c ) The resisitivity of the alloy manganin is nearly independent of/increases rapidly with increase of temperature. (d) The resistivity of a typical insulator (e.g., amber) is greater than that of a metal by a factor of the order of (10 ^(22) //10 ^(23)).
