प्रश्न
How does the resistance of a metallic wire depend on its temperature? Explain with reason.

उत्तर १
With the increase in temperature of conductor, both the random motion of electrons and the amplitude of vibration of fixed positive ions increase. As a result, the number of collisions increases. Hence, the resistance of a conductor increases with the increase in its temperature. The resistance of filament of a bulb is more when it is glowing (i.e., when it is at a high temperature) as compared to when it is not glowing (i.e., when it is cold).
उत्तर २
The resistance of a metallic wire increases with increase in its temperature.
