#1
Front (Question)

Conductivity (σ) is inversely proportional to what?

Back (Answer)

Resistivity. σ ∝ 1/p

#2
Front (Question)

If Temperature (T) ↑ Increases in a Conductor, what happens to the conductivity (σ) and resistivity (p)?**

Back (Answer)

As Temperature (T) ↑ Increases, conductivity (σ) ↓ decreases and resistivity (p) ↑ increases

#3
Front (Question)

If Temperature (T) ↑ Increases in a Semi-Conductor, what happens to the conductivity (σ) and resistivity (p)?**

Back (Answer)

As Temperature (T) ↑ Increases, conductivity (σ) ↑ increases and resistivity (p) ↓ decreases **

#4
Front (Question)

Rank the following from Most to Least conductive: Semi-Conductors, Insulators, Conductors.**

Back (Answer)

(Most Conductive) 1. Conductor → 2. Semi-Conductor → 3. Insulator (Least Conductive)

#5
Front (Question)

Is metal a Conductor, Insulator, or Semi-Conductor?

Back (Answer)

Conductor

#6
Front (Question)

What are some examples of Semi-Conductors?

Back (Answer)

Ceramic e.g. Silicon (Si), Phosphorous (P), Boron (B)

#7
Front (Question)

What are some examples of Insulators?

Back (Answer)

Plastics, and Rubber

#8
Front (Question)

Increased ↑ Temperature (T) → ____ conducting charge ____ → more ________

Back (Answer)

Increased ↑ Temperature (T) → more conducting charge carriers → more conductivity
