The resistivity of a given metal wire changes mainly when which quantity changes?
AIts temperature
BIts wire length
CIts cross-section
DIts total mass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Its temperature
Resistivity is a material property that varies with temperature and pressure, not with the wire's dimensions.
