The resistivity of alloys is $\rho_{\text{alloy}}$ and the resistivity of constituent metals is $\rho_{\text{metal}}$. Then,usually:

  • A
    $\rho_{\text{alloy}} = \rho_{\text{metal}}$
  • B
    $\rho_{\text{alloy}} < \rho_{\text{metal}}$
  • C
    There is no simple relation between $\rho_{\text{alloy}}$ and $\rho_{\text{metal}}$
  • D
    $\rho_{\text{alloy}} > \rho_{\text{metal}}$
