The conductivity of a conductor can be increased by_______________?
Correct answer: A. decreasing its temperature
- A. decreasing its temperature
- B. increasing its temperature
- C. decreasing its vibration
- D. increasing its vibration
Explanation
In metallic conductors, lowering temperature reduces lattice vibrations and electron scattering, thereby increasing conductivity. Raising temperature has the opposite effect.
