Resistance and Temperature Metals Resistance increases with temp. Atoms more disorderly Interferes with flow of electrons Semiconductors Resistance sometimes decreases with temperature Some electrons become excited and able to flow Superconductivity The resistance of a platinum resistor at 20 o C is W.
