    This document discusses the resistivities and temperature dependencies of different materials. Metals have the lowest resistivity while insulators have the highest. A metal's resistivity increases with temperature according to the formula provided, where resistivity is directly proportional to temperature. Resistors are color coded to indicate their resistance values.

    Resistivities of Various Materials

    Resistivity of
    Metals - Lowest
    Semiconductors - Moderate
    Insulators - Highest

    Temperature Dependence Of Resistivity


    P,P,[l+a (T-T)]
    P.- Resistivity at a temperature T.
    P, - Resistivity at a reference temperature T,
    a-temperature coefticient of resitivity

    Note : With increase in temperature,
    Resistance of Conductors Increase (&
    Resistance of Semiconductors and Insulators decrease
