For a typical metal conductor, the random motion of free electrons inside that metal will increase resulting in more collisions. How does it affect the flow of electrons through the metal? O More collisions will resist the flow of electrons but it does not affect the resistance of the metal. O More collisions will resist the flow of electrons which means the resistance of the metal will increase as well. O More collisions will lead to an increased flow of electrons which means the resistance of the metal will decrease. O More collision of free electrons does not affect the flow of electrons which means the resistance won't change also.
