Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

Silver is the worst conductor of electricity.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

• Silver has the least resistivity (about 1.63 × 10⁻⁸ Ω m) among all substances.
• The smaller the resistivity, the better the conductor, so silver offers the least opposition to the flow of current.
• The correct fact is that silver is the best conductor of electricity, not the worst.
