MCQ
The relaxation time in conductors
  • A
    Increases with the increase of temperature
  • Decreases with the increase of temperature
  • C
    It does not depend on temperature
  • D
    All of sudden changes at $400\, K$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Decreases with the increase of temperature
b
(b) Because as temperature increases, the resistivity increases and hence the relaxation time decreases for conductors $\left( {\tau \propto \frac{1}{\rho }} \right).$
