Good conductors have a high resistance or low?

Good conductors have low resistance


Which has a higher resistance insulators or conductors?

No, the resistance of an insulator is very high.


What type of resistance do conductors have?

Conductors have a (low) Electrical resistance.


Why do spark plug wires have resistance?

All wires have a resistance, as does everything else in the universe. Conductors like metal and carbon generally have low resistances where as non conductors have a very high resistance. Think of it like friction, but electric.


The relationship between resistance and conductors is?

ALL resistance are conductors. just the magnitude value changes


For most conductors as their temperature increases their resistance?

The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.


Why do you call metals as poor conductors?

Metals are poor conductors as they offer resistance to the flow of electrons however super conductors offer less or no resistance


What are the materials have low resistance?

Conductors.


Do conductors have low resistance?

Conductors have low resistance. Recall Ohm's law. The higher the conductor resistance, the greater the voltage drop along the conductor, and the less voltage that is available for the load. The conductor resistance is a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance results in more electrical power being converted into heat, warming up the conductors. This is calculated with the formula P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the power wasted heating the conductors.


What is the characteristic of a material that hinders electron flow?

It is called resistance Good conductors have a bad resistance While bad conductors or insulators have good resistance against the flow of electricity


Does abrasion affect hardness?

No. Steel and mercury are both good conductors (low resistance). Diamond and rubber are both insulators (high resistance).


Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?

On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
