  • question_answer
    Which of the following represents correct order of conductivity in solids?

    A) \[{{\kappa }_{\text{metals}}}>>{{\kappa }_{\text{insulators}}}<{{\kappa }_{\text{semiconductors}}}\]

    B) \[{{\kappa }_{\text{metals}}}<<{{\kappa }_{\text{insulators}}}<{{\kappa }_{\text{semiconductors}}}\]

    C) \[{{\kappa }_{\text{metals}}};{{\kappa }_{\text{semiconductors}}}<{{\kappa }_{\text{insulators}}}=\text{zero}\]

    D) \[{{\kappa }_{\text{metals}}}<{{\kappa }_{\text{semiconductors}}}>{{\kappa }_{\text{insulators}}}\ne \text{zero}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Conductivity of metals are much higher than the semiconductors and insulators. Insulators are non - conductor of electricity. Thus, the order of conductivities of solids is \[{{\kappa }_{\text{metals}}}>>{{\kappa }_{\text{insulator}}}<{{\kappa }_{\text{semiconductors}}}\]
