Use the data in Table to answer the following :
Which among iron and mercury is a better conductor?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Resistivity of iron `(10.0 xx 10^(-8) omega m)` is lesser than that of the mercury `(94.0 xx 10^(-8) omega m)`. So, iron is good conductor as compared to mercury.
