Electrical conductivity of metal
Electrical conductivity of metal :
Metals are good conductor of electricity which is due to the presence of mobile electrons in the crystal lattice of the metals. It has been found that the increase of temperature decreases the electrical conductivity of metals. This is because increase of temperature increases the Kinetic energy of the metal atoms which start vibrating the Kernels of metal vigorously. This interacts with the movement of electrons and make its movement slow and thus conductivity decreases.
