We know that
R = ρ (L / A)
ρ ∝1 / σ
Thus greater resistivity lower conductivity
Therefore material B is a good conductor..than material A..
Hope this helps u!!
Here's your answer...
The formula for resistance is
Assume that alpha is rho. Please. It's really annoying not having the correct symbols.
Rho is resistivity.
At the same dimensions (same length and area of cross section), the material with less resistivity will have better conductance.
So material B will have better conductance, as it has less resistivity.
