Effect of Temperature on
Resistivity & Resistance
Effect of Temperature on ‘n’ (free e- density)
′
& ‘𝝉 (Average Relaxation time)
➢ On increasing Temperature ➢ On increasing Temperature
➢ n increases ➢ 𝝉 decreases
1. For Metallic Conductors/ Conductors
➢ For metals, the number of free e- per unit volume (n) is very large,
about 1028- 1029 per m3 at room temperature
➢On increasing temperature, the increase in n is not significant
➢So, on increasing temperature
2. For Semi-Conductors and Insulators
➢ For Semi Conductors like Si and Ge (sometimes Carbon) and
insulators, the relaxation time 𝝉 does not vary much with
Temperature.
➢On Increasing Temperature
Temp ↑ 𝒏↑ 𝑹↓ 𝝆 ↓
3. For Alloys like nichrome, manganin and
constantan
