a) How does the resistance of a pure metal change if its temperature decreases?
b) How does the presence of impurities in a metal affect its resistance?
a) As the temperature decreases, resistance in a pure metal also decreases.
b) The presence of impurities in a metal increases the resistance of the metal.
