Which of the following represents correct order of conductivity in solids?
(i) κ metals >> κ insulators< κsemiconductors
(ii) κ metals << κ insulators < κsemiconductors
(iii) κ metals κsemiconductors> κ insulators = zero
(iv) κ metals < κsemiconductors >κ insulators ≠ zero
The answer is the option (i).
The relative values of conductivity of solid is represented in terms of k. The value for k for metals >> semiconductor>> Insulator
