Question

(38) The resistivity of some materials is given
below. State which one will be the best
conductor for the same length, cross sectional
area and temperature.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Silver.

Explanation:

From the above table we find that of all the metals, silver has the lowest resistivity (1.60×10

−8

Ω−m), which means that silver offers the least resistance to the flow of current through it.

Hence, silver metal is the best conductor of electricity.
