MCQ
Identify the material whose resistivity is more than $10^{14} \Omega m$.
  • Bakelite
  • B
    Copper
  • C
    Aluminum
  • D
    Silicon

Answer

Correct option: A.
Bakelite
a. Bakelite
Explanation:
Insulators are materials which do not conduct electric current, and thereby, offer high resistance to the flow of charges. Insulators like bakelite and hard rubber have very high resistivities in the range of $10^{14}$ to $10^{16} \Omega m$.
