Question
Which material would you expect to have greater resistance, plastic or silver? Explain your choice.
Solution
VerifiedI would expect plastic to have more resistance. Silver is a fantastic conductor because it has particularly low resistance. As we learned in Chapter 12, plastic is a poor conductor and a great insulator. This means that plastic resists the flow of electrons.
