 RESISTANCE - THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: TEMPERATURE

Most conductors used in electronic applications have a positive temperature coefficient.
However, carbon, a frequently used material, is a substance having a negative temperature coefficient.

Several materials, such as the alloys constantan and manganin, are considered to have a ZERO TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT because their resistance remains relatively constant for changes in temperature.
