What is the correct sequence of resistivity of silver, nichrome and glass at room temperature?
- A. Silver \lt Nichrome \lt Glass ✓
- B. Glass \lt Nichrome \lt Silver
- C. Silver \lt Glass \lt Nichrome
- D. Nichrome \lt Silver \lt Glass
Correct Answer: A. Silver \lt Nichrome \lt Glass
Explanation
Silver is an excellent conductor with very low resistivity. Nichrome is an alloy used as a resistor (higher resistivity than silver), and glass is an insulator (extremely high resistivity).
