Question:

Use the data in Table 12.2 to answer the following –

(a) Which among iron and mercury is a better conductor?
(b) Which material is the best conductor?

Answer:

(a) The Resistivity of mercury is more than that of iron. So mercury offer more resistance than that iron whereas iron have lower resistivity and offer less resistance therefore iron is a better conductor than mercury

Resistivity of iron = 10.0 x 10-8 

Resistivity of mercury = 94.0 × 10−8 

 

(b) Silver is the best conductor of electricity because of lowest resistivity and offers lower resistance as shown according to the above table.
