Which outcome results when crystal dislocations impede electron flow?

💡 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.
