← ScienceWhich outcome results when crystal dislocations impede electron flow?
A)Increased electrical resistance occurs✓
B)Enhanced thermal conductivity results
C)Material becomes a superconductor
D)Crystal lattice structure anneals
💡 Explanation
Increased electrical resistance occurs because crystal dislocations scatter electrons via phonon scattering, impeding their movement through the lattice; therefore resistance increases, rather than enhanced conductivity, which requires minimal disruptions or annealing for removing the defect.
