- Electrical Conductivity: It is a property of a material that shows the ability of a material to carry current.
- It is the opposite of electrical resistivity.
- The below table shows the electrical conductivity of different materials:
| Position | Metal | Conductivity S/m × 106 |
| 1. | Silver | 6289 |
| 2. | Copper | 5977 |
| 3. | Gold | 4255 |
| 4. | Aluminum | 3766 |
| 5. | Iron | 1029 |
EXPLANATION:
- From the given options, Silver has the highest electrical conductivity, and Aluminum has the least.
- On a scale of 0 to 100 for electrical conductivity, silver ranks 100, with copper at 97 and gold at 76, aluminum at 60.
- Hence the correct answer is option 4.
