Question

Which of the following would normally be the best conductor-SteelSilverGlassCopper

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Among copper- glass- silver and steel- glass is non-metal i-e- insulator- so it has least conductivity-Conductivity order-Silver -gt- Copper -gt- Steel-in siemens-m- at 20oC62-1-xD7-106-gt-59-8-xD7-106-gt-6-21-xD7-106

Among copper, glass, silver and steel, glass is non-metal i.e. insulator; so it has least conductivity.Conductivity order:Silver > Copper > Steel(in siemens/m) at 20oC62.1×106>59.8×106>6.21×106

Among copper, glass, silver and steel, glass is non-metal i.e. insulator; so it has least conductivity.
Conductivity order:
Silver $>$ Copper $>$ Steel
(in $s i e m e n s / m$ ) at $20^{o} C$
$62.1 \times 10^{6} > 59.8 \times 10^{6} > 6.21 \times 10^{6}$
