When a piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to 800 K then the resistance?

The resistance of the copper piece will increase, while the resistance of the germanium piece will decrease as they are both cooled from room temperature to 800 K. This is because the resistivity of metals like copper generally increases with decreasing temperature, while for semiconductors like germanium, the resistivity decreases with decreasing temperature.


Why does resistance decrease as the NTC Resitor becomes warmer?

In NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) resistors, as the temperature increases, the number of charge carriers also increases. This results in more electron movement, decreasing the resistance. The relationship between temperature and resistance in NTC resistors is inversely proportional.


What is the relationship between resistance and temperature?

• ntc 'negative temperature coefficient': its resistance decreases as the temperature increases• ptc 'positive temperature coefficient': its resistance increases as the temperature increases


What Materials that have positive temperature coefficient?

Some materials with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance include silicon, germanium, and thermistors made of certain metal oxides like manganese, cobalt, and copper. These materials exhibit an increase in resistance with an increase in temperature, making them useful in temperature-sensing applications.


Do The resistance of a material generally increases as its temperature increases?

The answer to this depends on the material from which the resistance is made. For most materials resistance increases with increasing temperature. This is referred to as having a "positive temperature coefficient". Some materials have a negative temperature coefficient; these do have uses in electronics.


How does the ac resistance of a diode change as the voltage increases?

When the voltage increases the temperature in the diode also increases. When the temperature in the diode increases, the resistance decreases.


Temperature coefficient of resistance?

most metals resistance increases with temperature


How is a current affected across a wire if its resistance increases?

How does temperature affect resistance of a wire?

If you are asking if a hot wire has a greater resistance than a cold wire then the answer I would say is yes. Cold wires have always had less resistance than hot wires


When the temperature increases thermistor resistance decreases?

Yes, that's correct. In a thermistor, which is a type of temperature-sensitive resistor, the resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This is because the conductivity of the thermistor material increases with temperature, causing the resistance to decrease.
