6.

A student connects a length of unknown material in series with a battery and an ammeter (which measures current flow). When the circuit is complete, the ammeter reads that no current is flowing. The unknown material is most likely ―

a)

a conductor

b)

7.

Silicon is a substance often used in electronic devices. Silicon has a high electrical resistance compared to metals which means that it does not release its electrons very easily. However, it does conduct electricity when the right conditions are met. These properties allow electronic devices to control the electrical current sent through silicon much easier than a typical metal substance. The properties of silicon would cause it to best be classified as a —

a)

conductor

b)

insulator

c)

semiconductor

d)

superconductor

8.

A superconductor has a critical temperature below which ―

a)

it stops conducting

b)

it begins to conduct

c)

its resistance becomes zero

d)

its resistance becomes infinite

9.

Which of the following, on average, has the highest electrical resistance value?

a)

Conductors

b)

Insulators

c)

Semiconductors

d)

Superconductors
