Q :  

Tungsten resistance to temperature rise?

(A) decreases

(B) increases

(C) there is no change

(D) All these

Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

At high temperatures, the tungsten filament gets hot and atoms in the filament vibrate more. The electrons in the current now collide more with the atoms & more energy is needed to push the current through the filament. Hence, the resistance of tungsten increases with temperature.
