The resistance of a conductor changes with:
- Atemperature
- Bvoltage
- Ccurrent
- Dhumidity
Correct answer: A — temperature. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
When a metal wire gets hotter, its atoms vibrate more vigorously, making it harder for electrons to flow through, which increases resistance. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
