  1. As per Matthiessen's rule, the total resistivity r of a conductor can be written as r = ri + aT, where ri and a are constants and T is absolute temperature. At very low temperatures

  2. A.
    aT = 0
    B.
    aT > ri
    C.
    aT ∼ ri
    D.
    aT < ri

    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    At very low temperatures a T → 0. Since resistivity has a finite value even at low temperature, a T < ri.
