    Which type of materials has high resistivity or low conductivity?
    Question

    Which type of materials has high resistivity or low conductivity?

    A.

    Copper

    B.

    Aluminium

    C.

    Gold

    D.

    Tungsten

    Correct option is D


    (a) Copper
     Copper is known for its excellent electrical conductivity and low resistivity, making it a common material for electrical wiring and components.
    (b). Aluminium
     Aluminium also has good electrical conductivity, though not as high as copper.
     It is widely used in power transmission lines due to its favorable conductivity-to-weight ratio.
    (c). Gold
     Gold has very high electrical conductivity and low resistivity, similar to copper.
     It is often used in high-reliability applications and connectors due to its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
    (d). Tungsten
     Tungsten has relatively high resistivity compared to the other metals listed here.
     While it is a good conductor of electricity compared to many non-metals, its resistivity is higher than that of copper, aluminium, and gold.
     Tungsten is often used in applications where high resistivity is beneficial, such as in filaments for incandescent light bulbs.
    Therefore, the material with high resistivity or low conductivity is:
    (d) Tungsten
