The resistivity of three metals namely iron, silver and mercury are `10xx10^(-8) Omegam, 1.6xx10^(-8) Omega` and `94xx10^(-8) Omega`m respectively. Answer the following using given data (a) Which among iron, silver and mercury is the best conductor ? (b) If the length of the iron conductor is doubled, what will happen to its resistivity ? Given reason for your answers. |

Answer» (a) Silver is the best conductor, as its resistivity is the least among these metals. (b) The resistivity of iron will remain the same, as resistivity of the material is a constant value for that material. |
