Electric Current

Question 21 • Learning Lab - US History B-CR (26-27)

Which most likely has the greatest conductivity?

Answer
A
a warm plastic rod
B
a cool rubber tube
C
a cool silver strip
D
a warm copper wire

Explanation

Metals conduct electricity much better than plastic or rubber, so A and B are less likely. Silver has slightly greater electrical conductivity than copper, and cooler temperatures generally increase a metal’s conductivity. Therefore, the cool silver strip is most likely to have the greatest conductivity.
