At fixed electron density, doubling the average time between collisions does what to resistivity?
AIt is halved
BIt is doubled
CIt is quadrupled
DIt is unchanged
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It is halved
Resistivity is m/(n e^2 tau), inversely proportional to tau, so doubling tau halves it.
