For a metallic conductor, as temperature increases, its resistance generally:

Answer: increases.

  • A increases
  • B decreases
  • C remains unchanged
  • D becomes zero

Correct answer: A. increases

Explanation: In metals, increased lattice vibrations at higher temperature raise the resistance.

In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.

Concept context

Ohm's law, resistors, Kirchhoff's laws, Wheatstone bridge, and cells.
