Question:
Describe in detail why/how resistance of a conductor can increase with temperature
Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ektAnswer:
If a device is operating with a high current for a long time it will heat up. as temperature increases, atoms within the conductor begin to vibrate more. Moving electrons in the conductor may collide more often with vibrating ions. these act as barriers to the flow of charge, increasing the electrical resistance.
