    Identify the conductor having the highest resistivity.
    Question

    Identify the conductor having the highest resistivity.

    A.

    Copper

    B.

    Silver

    C.

    Aluminium

    D.

    Mercury

    Correct option is D

    Mercury has the highest resistivity among the given options. 
    Resistivity: A material's resistivity is a measure of how much it resists the flow of electric current. It is represented by the Greek letter ρ. The SI unit of resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m). 

    Conductors: Materials that conduct electricity easily have a low resistivity. 
    Insulators: Materials that do not conduct electricity easily have a high resistivity. 
    Alloys: Alloys generally have higher resistivity than individual metals. For example, Nichrome, an alloy of nickel, chromium, iron, and manganese, has a higher resistivity than copper, silver, and aluminum.
