Question:
What is resistivity?
Answer
Resistivity is an intrinsic property of a
material, which is a measure of the
conductive ability of the material. The lower
the value, the more conductive the material
is.

Topic 4: 600
• Question:
• A 2, 4 and 6 Ohm resistor are connected in
parallel. Which resistor will have the greatest
current and which one will have the least?
• Answer
• The 2 resistor will have the greatest current
while the 6 resistor will have the least.
Remember: Electricity follows the path of
least resistance.

can neither be created, nor destroyed.
Topic 5: 800
• Question:
• Explain why a neutral object can be attracted
to a charged object.
• Answer
• Due to separation of charge. Electrons are
either attracted to the surface or repelled
resulting in a surface charge.
