Question
Which statement correctly describes the conductivity of the specified material?(1 point)
Responses

Aluminum has a low conductivity.
Aluminum has a low conductivity.

Plastics have high conductivity.
Plastics have high conductivity.

Gold has high conductivity.
Gold has high conductivity.

Copper has low conductivity.

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the conductivity of the specified materials is:

**Gold has high conductivity.**

The other statements are incorrect because:

1. **Aluminum has a low conductivity.** - Incorrect. Aluminum has relatively high conductivity, though it's less conductive than copper.
2. **Plastics have high conductivity.** - Incorrect. Plastics are typically insulators and have low conductivity.
3. **Copper has low conductivity.** - Incorrect. Copper has high conductivity and is commonly used in electrical wiring.

Therefore, the statement "Gold has high conductivity" is the only accurate response.
