Assertion: With increase in temperature, resistance of a conducting wire increases.

Reason: With the increase in temperature, the length and area of cross-section of wire changes but resistivity remains constant.

Assertion: Material used in the construction of a standard resistance is Constantan or Manganin.

Reason: The temperature coefficient the resistances is very small.

Assertion: The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire will decrease, if the temperature of the wire is increased.
Reason: On increasing the temperature, conductivity of metallic wire decreases.

Assertion: Resistivity of conductors and semiconductors increase with temperature.

Reason: The electrons move with more kinetic energy and hence relaxation time decreases.

Assertion: With increase in temperature, resistance of a conducting wire increases.
Reason: With the increase in temperature, length and area of cross-section of wire changes, but resistivity remains constant.

Assertion: The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R = R_0 (1 + \alpha ∆t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100 \mathrm{\Omega }$ to $150 \mathrm{\Omega }$, when its temperature is increased from $27 °\mathrm{C} \mathrm{to} 227 °\mathrm{C}$. This implies that $\alpha =2.5\times {10}^{-3} °{\mathrm{C}}^{-1}$.

Reason: $R = R_0 (1 + \alpha ∆t)$ is valid only, when the change in the temperature $∆T$ is small and $∆R = (R – R_0)<<R_0$.
