Assertion: For a conductor resistivity increases with increase in temperature.
Reason: Since ρ=mne2τ\rho=\frac{m}{n e^2 \tau}, when temperature increases the random motion of free electrons increases and vibration of ions increases which decreases τ\tau.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion) is correct because increased temperature leads to increased resistivity due to decreased relaxation time.
