In a practical experiment, if the resistivity of a copper wire is found to be 1.68 x 10^-8 Ω·m, what does this indicate about the material?.

  1. A.It has high resistance.
  2. B.It is a good conductor.
  3. C.It is an insulator.
  4. D.It has low conductivity.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • It is a good conductor.

Explanation

Why this works

The correct answer is It is a good conductor.. This is correct because it applies the Current electricity idea named in the question, using the required quantities and units rather than mixing current, charge, potential difference, resistance, power, or energy.

The other options are less suitable because they use the wrong electrical quantity, an incompatible unit, or a rule from a different circuit context.
