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.
