mode.
Metallic conductors show increased resistivity when
temperature is increased, and likewise show reduced
resistivity when temperature is reduced. Inferred zero
resistance temperature is simply the inferred temperature
at which the material will have no resistance. This value is
derived from the temperature coefficient of the material.
Note: the inferred zero resistance temperature is an ideal
value, and not a real-world value.
