Which of the following factors affect resistivity of metals ?

Correct answer: E. All of the above

  • A. Age hardening
  • B. Alloying
  • C. Temperature
  • D. Cold work
  • E. All of the above

Explanation

All listed factors can alter metallic resistivity: alloying and cold work introduce scattering, temperature changes lattice vibrations, and age hardening changes the material structure. Hence all of the above applies.
