The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct arrangement of materials based on their conductivity, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship Between Conductivity and Resistivity**: - Conductivity (σ) is inversely proportional to resistivity (ρ). This means that if a material has low resistivity, it has high conductivity, and vice versa. - The relationship can be expressed as: \[ \sigma = \frac{1}{\rho} \] 2. **List the Metals and Their Resistivity Values**: - The metals in question are Silver, Copper, Aluminum, and Tungsten. - The resistivity values for these metals are as follows: - Silver (Ag): \(1.6 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m\) - Copper (Cu): \(1.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m\) - Aluminum (Al): \(2.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m\) - Tungsten (W): \(5.6 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m\) 3. **Determine the Order of Resistivity**: - From the resistivity values, we can arrange the metals in order of increasing resistivity: - Tungsten (highest resistivity) - Aluminum - Copper - Silver (lowest resistivity) 4. **Determine the Order of Conductivity**: - Since conductivity is inversely related to resistivity, we can now arrange the metals in order of decreasing conductivity: - Silver (highest conductivity) - Copper - Aluminum - Tungsten (lowest conductivity) 5. **Final Arrangement**: - The correct order of the materials based on conductivity is: - Silver > Copper > Aluminum > Tungsten 6. **Select the Correct Option**: - Based on the options provided, the correct arrangement is: - Silver, Copper, Aluminum, Tungsten. ### Summary of the Solution: The correct order of materials based on conductivity is Silver, Copper, Aluminum, and Tungsten.
