Question
The resistivity does not change if
Options
the material is changed
the temperature is changed
the shape of the resistor is changed
both material and temperature are changed
Solution
the shape of the resistor is changed
Explanation -
Resistivity of a material depends only on the temperature and the nature of material. Shape of the resistor has no effect on the resistivity.
