Effect of temperature on materials

Effect of temperature on materials
The resistance of all pure metallic conductors increases with increase in temperature but the resistance of the insulators and non-metallic materials generally decreases with increase in temperature.

The resistance of conductors increases with the increase in temperature , on high temperatures good conductors become bad conductors even.

The insulators lose their insulating power with the increase in temperature and some may even become good conductors if they are strongly heated.
