Temperature dependence of resistivity p(T) of semiconductors, insulators and metals is Significantly based on the following factors :

Answer»

number of charge carriers can change with temperature T.
time INTERVAL between TWO successive collisions can depend on T.
length of material can be a function of T.
MASS of carriers is a function of T.

Solution :(A, B)
Resistivity of metal ,
`rho= (m)/("ne"^(2)TAU )`
where n is number density of charge carrier PER unit volume. With increase in temperature `tau`time interval between two successive collision decrease. Resistivity `rho prop (1)/(tau)` . Hence `rho` depend on temperature.
