On the basis of electrical conductivity, which one of the following material has the smallest resistivity?
A
Germanium
B
Silver
C
Glass
D
Silicon
Detailed Solution
Silver is an excellent conductor of electricity, so its resistivity is very low — the smallest among the given options (germanium and silicon are semiconductors, and glass is an insulator, all with much higher resistivity).
