Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 360
Question: The relaxation time in conductors
[DPMT 2003]
Options:
A) Increases with the increase of temperature
B) Decreases with the increase of temperature
C) It does not depend on temperature
D) All of sudden changes at 400 K
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Because as temperature increases, the resistivity increases and hence the relaxation time decreases for conductors $ ( \tau \propto \frac{1}{\rho } ). $
