What is the significance of resistance ratio, `rho_(300 K) // rho_(4.2K)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Resistance to the flow of electrons decreases the conductivity of metals. It decreases with increase in temperature. But presence of impurity in metals increases conductivity. The resistance ratio, at room temperature and at liquid helium temperature is a measure of the purity of metal
