Which of the following materials would have the highest electrical resistance, assuming equal length and cross-sectional area?

Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material (R = ρL/A). Silver and copper are excellent conductors with very low resistivity. Aluminum is also a good conductor. Nichrome is an alloy (nickel, chromium, and often iron) with a resistivity about 60 times higher than that of copper, making it a resistor used in heating elements.
