If the resistivity of copper is less than that of gold at room temperature, which of the following statements must be true? Gold has a higher resistance than copper. The sample of gold is thinner than the sample of copper. Electrons in gold are more likely to be scattered than electrons in copper at room temperature when they are accelerated by the same electric field. There is more current flowing in the gold than in the copper.
