The electrical resistivity of the noble metals copper, silver, and gold as a function of temperature is calculated in the free‐electron approximation using Krebs's model for the lattice dynamics of metals. Bailyn's averaging procedure is used to simplify formidable integrals over the Fermi surface. The calculated values of the resistivity are compared with available experimental data. The general shape of the theoretical and experimental resistivity curve is found to be similar, but the experimental values exceed the theoretical ones.
