If a small amount of Cu is added to Ni conductor, then

A Resistivity of Ni will decrease at all temperatures because Cu is a better conductor than Ni
B Residual resistivity of Ni at low temperature will increase as Cu atoms act as defect centres
C Resistivity of Ni will increase at all temperatures as Cu destroys the periodicity of Ni and acts as defects
D Resistivity of Ni remains the same

Correct Answer: Resistivity of Ni will increase at all temperatures as Cu destroys the periodicity of Ni and acts as defects
