A positive temperature coefficient means that the resistance of a material increases as temperature increases. Conversely, a negative temperature coefficient means that the resistance decreases as temperature rises. These coefficients are important in understanding how materials respond to changes in temperature and are commonly seen in the properties of semiconductors and resistors.

Why do conductor have a positive coefficent?

You mean positive temperature coefficient? Yes conductors as they get heated then due to the nucleii vibrating with greater amplitude would have a grip over the moving electrons and so the resistivity increases with the increase in temperature. Hence positive temperature coefficient.


Is it possible for a coefficient of variation to be negative?

Of course it is! If the mean of a set of data is negative, then the coefficient of variation will be negative.

What is the temperature co-efficient of a resistance of a thermister?

The temperature coefficient of a thermistor is a measure of how much its resistance changes with temperature. It is typically expressed in units of percent resistance change per degree Celsius. Negative temperature coefficients mean the resistance decreases as temperature increases, while positive coefficients mean the resistance increases with temperature.


What is coefficient of skewness in a variable concentration?

A measure of skewness is Pearson's Coefficient of Skew. It is defined as: Pearson's Coefficient = 3(mean - median)/ standard deviation The coefficient is positive when the median is less than the mean and in that case the tail of the distribution is skewed to the right (notionally the positive section of a cartesian frame). When the median is more than the mean, the cofficient is negative and the tail of the distribution is skewed in the left direction i.e. it is longer on the left side than on the right.

It can have either a negative or positive trend


Can you have a negative coefficient in a direct variation?

Yes, you can have a negative coefficient in a direct variation. So if you had y = -7x, that would be a direct variation. If you have y = -x, I do not know, if that is what you mean. Hope it helped.


What is a negative mean?

IN statistics yes there is a negative mean. Mean is the average of multiple numbers. Negative is opposite of positive.


What does it mean for variables to show correlation?

A positive correlation coefficient means that as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable increases; as one decreases the other decreases. A negative correlation coefficient indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases, and vice-versa.
