Temperature Dependence of Resistivity-12
Introduction
The variation of resistivity of a metallic conductor, semi conductor and alloy with temperature is not same in all cases but is different for the different materials.
Temperature dependence of resistivity in case of Metallic conductors
However, the graph loses its behavior of proportionality and deviates significantly from the straight line at temperatures much below 500°K.
Applications
