The graph between resistivity and temperature given below can be for the material:
Manganin
The given graph shows a constant resistivity over a range of temperatures.
- Copper and Nichrome exhibit an increase in resistivity with temperature.
- Semiconductors show a decrease in resistivity with temperature.
- Manganin is an alloy used in making resistors, and it has a nearly constant resistivity over a wide temperature range.
Thus, the correct answer is (c) Manganin.
