Explain classification of material on basis of resistivity.

Answer»

Solution :`rArr`Material is classified in three categories : conductor, semiconductor and insulator.
`rArr` For perfect conductor value of resistivity is zero and conductivity is infinite.
For METAL resistivity is of ORDER of `10^(-6) Omega `m to `10^(-8) Omega` m.
`rArr`For perfect insulator resistivity is infinite and conductivity is zero.
`rArr` For materials like CERAMIC, rubber and plastic value of resistivity is about `10^(18)` times value of resistivity of metals.
`rArr`Resistivity of semiconductor is more than resistivity of metaJs and less than resistivity of insulators.
`rArr` Resistivity of semiconductor decrease with INCREASE in temperature.
`rArr` Resistivity of non-conductor depends on impurities added in them.
