Explanation:

  • In alloys, if the temperature is increased, the resistance will increase, but only slightly compared to pure metals due to the lower temperature coefficient of resistance. Since the increament is negligible in alloys specifically hence it can be said that the resistance remains nearly same.
  • Alloys are chosen for their stability of resistance with temperature. The resistance of alloys changes very little with temperature, making them ideal for applications that require consistent electrical properties over a range of temperatures. This is why they are widely used in precision instruments and measurement devices.
