Q158 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

The resistivity of a material is found to be $10^{8} Ω - m$ . Then the material would be

Correct answer
A
Only insulator
B
Only metal
C
Only semiconductor
D
Only Superconductor

Solution

Decreasing order of resistivity is as follows.
Insulators>semiconductors>conductors.
Resistivity of the given material is very high. Therefore, the material would be insulator.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
