How does the conductivity of metal change with temperature?

The conductivity of metal generally increases with temperature. This is because as temperature rises, the atoms in the metal vibrate more vigorously, allowing electrons to move more freely and carry electrical charge more effectively.


When light is incident on a metal surface it emits electrons What happens if the intensity of light increases?

If the intensity of light increases, more photons will be incident on the metal surface, leading to a higher rate of electron emission through the photoelectric effect. This results in a higher current of emitted electrons.


What is the effect of temperature on resistance of different metals?

with increase temperature in metal, thermal energy causes atoms in metal to vibrate, in this excited state atoms interact with and scatter electrons, thus decreasing the mean free path, and hence the mobility of electrons to decreases and resistivity increase(Resistivity = 1 / Conductivity )so conductivity of metal decrease as increasing in temperature


Mobility of electron Increases as temperature increases?

false increasing temperature increases vibrations of cations in a metal lattice. This increases the chances of an electron colliding with a cation, decreasing overall mobility. Aside: when some metals and ceramics reach below a certain temperature their resistance drops to zero(literally) and they become superconducting, able to carry currents for thousands of years with no energy loss.


What is the tensile strength of sodium?

Sodium has a very low ductility. It's fairly brittle. Note that sodium is highly reactive, and will not be found as a pure metal in nature. It is stored in waterproof and air tight containers (if not actually under a liquid like kerosene) to keep it from reacting with the moisture in air.

How does metal react to tension?

All metals have a tensile strength. The strength varies with the metal and with such factors as temperature and additives.


What is the difference between metal and semiconductor?

A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. A metal's resistivity increases with increasing temperature.


Is Eiffel Tower always the same height?

no ,Because when the temperature increases the metal expands and when the temperature is low the metal contracts


What happens to the resistance of metals as they get hot?

The electrical resistance in a common piece of metal such as copper wire would increase. This happens because as temperature increases the atoms of the metal vibrate quicker and to a larger extent resulting in a greater number of collisions for electrons moving along the metal.


What happens to the overall metal content of stars as the universe ages?

What happens to the temperature and pressure as you get closer to the center of the earth?

As you get closer to the center of the Earth, both temperature and pressure increase. The temperature increases due to the Earth's core being composed of hot, molten metal, while pressure increases due to the weight of the overlying material pressing down on the layers below.


What happens when a flame heats a metal?

When a flame heats a metal, the metal absorbs the heat energy and its temperature increases. As the metal gets hotter, its atoms vibrate more rapidly, eventually reaching a point where the metal starts to glow and emit light. Continued heating can cause the metal to melt or even ignite if the temperature is high enough.


How does the conductivity of metal change with temperature?

The conductivity of metal generally increases with temperature. This is because as temperature rises, the atoms in the metal vibrate more vigorously, allowing electrons to move more freely and carry electrical charge more effectively.


What happens when heated metal is suddenly immersed in water?

The metal increases in hardness, a mechanical property. The process which transforms the metal hardness is called "quenching".


What is the recrystallization temperature of aluminum?

The recrystallization temperature of aluminum is approximately 200-250°C. At this temperature, the aluminum undergoes recrystallization, which removes strain within the metal's structure and increases its ductility and strength. This process is important for improving the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys.
