Question 14 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Which lists types of materials from most conductive to least conductive?

Answer
A
insulator, semiconductor, conductor, superconductor
B
superconductor, conductor, semiconductor, insulator
C
conductor, insulator, semiconductor, superconductor
D
semiconductor, conductor, superconductor, insulator

Explanation

Electrical conductivity decreases in this order: superconductors, conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. A superconductor can carry current with no electrical resistance, while an insulator strongly resists current. Therefore, choice B, “superconductor, conductor, semiconductor, insulator,” lists the materials from most conductive to least conductive.
