The resistivity of iron at 20°C is 9.71 × 108 The resistivity of silver at 20°C is 1.59 × 108 The resistivity of Glass at 20°C is 1.10 × 109 The resistivity of nichrome at 20°C is 100 × 108 Hence silver is the least resistive material in the given option.
A P-N junction acts as a voltage-controlled switch. During forward biasied the p-n junction diode acts like an ON switch. When reverse biased, it acts like an OFF switch.
