A strip of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to 80 K. The resistance of
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The temperature coefficient of resistance of copper is positive and that of germanium is negative, therefore when copper and germanium are cooled, resistance of copper strip decreases and that of germanium increases.
