Conclusion
The resistivity is the intrinsic property of a given material
that shows how it opposes the flow of current.
RT = R0 [1+ α (T-T0)] is the equation that shows the relation
between the temperature and the resistivity of a material.
For metals or conductors, when the temperature increases
and the resistivity of the metal increases and thus current
flow in the metal is decreased. They have a positive
temperature co – efficient. The value α is positive.
For semiconductors, when the temperature is increased the
conductivity of the material is increased. It means that the
resistivity of the material is decreased and so the current
flow is increased. For semiconductors they have a negative
temperature co – efficient. So the value of temperature co –
efficient of resistivity, α is negative.
For insulators the conductivity of the material is increased,
when the temperature is increased. When the conductivity of
the material is increased, we know that the resistivity
decreases and the current flow thus increases. So some
insulators at room temperatures changes to conductors at
high temperature. For insulators they have a negative
temperature co – efficient. The value of temperature co –
efficient of resistivity, α is negative.
The materials like nichrome, manganin and constantan does
not depend much on temperature. So the change in the
resistivity of the material during temperature change is
negligible.
