Which consequence results when dislocations impede motion in metal polycrystals?

💡 Explanation

Increased yield strength occurs because dislocation motion is fundamental to plastic deformation; pinning via **strain hardening** prevents slip. Therefore, material resists deformation more effectively rather than exhibiting increased conductivity or thermal expansion under similar stress.
