Physics-Resistance & Resistivity

NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The resistivity of metals increases with an increase in temperature. | Reason (R): In metals, the average time between electron collisions decreases with an increase in temperature.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The resistivity of metals increases with temperature because the average time between electron collisions decreases, leading to more frequent collisions.
