MCQ
Materials which allow only larger currents to flow through them are:
  • A
    Insulators
  • B
    Semi-conductors
  • C
    Conductors
  • D
    Alloys

Answer

  1. Semi-conductors

Explanation:

Semiconductors in their natural state are poor conductors because a current requires the flow of electrons, and semiconductors have their valence band filled, preventing the entry flow of new electrons.

Thus semi-conductors allows a large current to pass through them.
