  • Aluminum (or Aluminium) is a good thermal and electrical conductor, having 59% the conductivity of copper, both thermal and electrical, while having only 30% of copper's density.
  • Aluminum is capable of being a superconductor, with a superconducting critical temperature of 1.2 Kelvin and a critical magnetic field of about 100 gauss (10 milliteslas).

Can you name all the things you can use in the place of copper-wire?

Aluminium wire can be used because it has low resistivity


Which one of the following has the lowet resistivity -aluminium -copper -steel -lead?

Copper, aluminum, steel and lead in that order.


Is lead conductor?

Lead has high resistivity of current. So , lead is not conduct current. But lead has low resistivity of heat and it conduct heat..


Would aluminum on a simple electric motor work?

If you are referring to the use of aluminium windings, instead of copper windings, then the answer is yes. However, because aluminium has a higher resistivity than copper, to produce the same rating as a copper-wound machine, the aluminium conductor would require a slightly larger cross-sectional area, which means that that the machine would be somewhat larger.


When a sample of germanium and silicon having same impurity density are kept at room temperature then resistivity of both?

The resistivity of germanium will decrease with increasing temperature due to a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity, while the resistivity of silicon will increase with increasing temperature due to a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. At room temperature, silicon will have a higher resistivity compared to germanium.


Does high resistivity have a higher number or lower number?

High resistivity corresponds to a higher numerical value. In the context of materials, resistivity is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current; materials with high resistivity, like rubber or glass, have larger resistivity values compared to conductive materials like copper or aluminum, which have low resistivity values.


If the diameter of wire is double what is resestivity?

Resistivity won't change. Resistivity is a material property that doesn't depend on the shape.


Do wires that have high resistivity have high conductivity also?

No. In fact it is the opposite. Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity so a high resistivity means low conductivity. peace.


What are the formulae of resistivity?

There is no 'formula' for resistivity. The resistivities of different conductors have been determined by experiment.


Can resistivity be negetive?

No, resistivity cannot be negative. Resistivity is a material property that indicates how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is always a positive quantity, even though some materials may have very low resistivity values.


What is the resistivity of deionized water and how does it compare to the resistivity of other types of water?

The resistivity of deionized water is high, meaning it is a good insulator. It is higher than the resistivity of tap water or seawater, which have more dissolved ions and conduct electricity better.


What is resistivity on what factor is depends?

Resistivity is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current. It depends on factors such as the material's composition, temperature, and dimensions. Materials with high resistivity impede the flow of current more than those with low resistivity.
