A resistor connected to a battery is heated due to the current. The quantity which does not change is

  1. A drift speed of the charge carriers
  2. B number of free electrons
  3. C conductance
  4. D resistivity
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) number of free electrons

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a metallic conductor, the number of free electrons (electron density) is a fixed property of the material's atomic structure and does not change with temperature. While heating increases the vibration of metal ions—which slows down the drift speed, increases resistivity, and…
