What is the effect of temperature on the electrical conductance of metallic
conductors?

Solution and Explanation
As temperature increases, the electrical conductance of metallic conductors generally decreases.
This happens because the increased thermal energy causes the atoms in the metal to vibrate
more, which increases the number of collisions between electrons and atoms, reducing the mo-
bility of the electrons. This results in a decrease in electrical conductance.
