Question on electricity

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-11] [Hit: ]
......
How come there is more resistance in a circuit with a higher temperature because wouldn't the electrons have more energy to move faster?

-
Electrons are moved ( "drift") under an electric field.

Higher temperatures just make the ion sites oscillate with higher amplitude, scattering more the electrons out of the path due to electric field.
