By increasing impurity content in the metal alloy the residual resistivity always_____________?
Correct answer: B. increases
- A. decreases
- B. increases
- C. remains constant
- D. becomes temperature independent
Explanation
Impurity atoms disturb the regular lattice and scatter conduction electrons, increasing residual resistivity. This component remains even when temperature-related lattice vibrations are minimized.
