6. If conductance increases as temperature increases, this is known as a:
Options
A. positive coefficient
B. negative current flow
C. negative coefficient
D. positive resistance
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: negative coefficient
Explanation:
A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) occurs when the thermal conductivity of a material rises with increasing temperature, typically in a defined temperature range.
Note: The reciprocal of electrical Resistance is called Conductance.
