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.
