Why does the resistivity of a metal rise with temperature?
AElectron density falls
BMean collision time falls
CIons become lighter
DElectron charge drops
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mean collision time falls
Faster electrons collide more often, so the average time between collisions falls while n stays nearly fixed, raising resistivity.
