They are used to make standard resistors because 1)they have high value of resistivity.2)temperature cofficient of resistance is less.3)they are least affected by temperature.

What is an alloy of copper and nickel used in electrical resistance called?

cupro-nickel is the term referring to copper / nickel alloys. The particular alloy used in electrical resistors has 45% nickel, and is called constantan. See related link.


How the resistance of conducting material vary with temperature?

Well, there's typically two types of materials-Those with positive temperature coefficient and those with negative temperature coefficient. Positive temperature coefficient are those whose resistance increases as temperature increases. Negative temperature cofficient are those whose resistance decrease when the temperature increase. There are however some alloys such as Manganin& Constantan whose resistance is not affected by temperature


How resistance work to stop flow of current?

because resistance is done by resistors which is made of different alloys that will oppose electricity.

What do you expect of ohmic resistance as you increase or reduce temperature?

It depends. In general, pure metal conductors increase in resistance as their temperature increases; some alloys (e.g. constantan) are manufactured to maintain an approximately-constant resistance for changes in temperature. Materials such as carbon (and most insulators) exhibit a fall in resistance as their temperatures increase.
