Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: 1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m
Salt water: 2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m
Silver: 1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m
Lead: 2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>

Answer:

Lowest resistivity : silver

Explanation:

The reciprocal of conductivity is called the resistivity of a material. Mathematically it can be written as :

\sigma=\dfrac{1}{\rho}=R\dfrac{A}{l}

Where

\sigma is the conductivity

\rho is the resistivity of the material

l and A are the length and the area of the material.

So, the material having highest conductivity will have lowest resistivity. Silver is the good conductor of electricity i.e. highest conductivity.

So, silver offers lowest resistivity.

Hence, the correct option is (c) " silver ".

How does fission and fusion affect an atoms nucleus differently?
Nata [24]

When a heavy nucleus breaks up into two or more fragments with the liberation of energy, the process is called fission.

When two light nuclei fuse together to form a comparatively heavy nucleus, the process is called fusion. Both processes are accompanied by release of energy.

The most common example of fission is the fission of Uranium nucleus, which absorbs a slow neutron and breaks into Barium, Krypton, a few neutrons and energy.

U(235)+neutron→Ba(139)+Kr(94)+3 neutrons+200 MeV

Each fission releases around 200 MeV of energy.

The fusion reaction is responsible for energy generated by stars.

Protons in the stars combine to form a Helium nucleus with the liberation of energy.

4 protons→Helium+2 positrons+ nuetirnos+ 26.7 MeV

Fusion reactions can happen only at very high temperatures, which is required ,so that the protons have enough kinetic energy to overcome their mutual electrostatic repulsion. The temperatures that can result in fusion are of the order 10^8 K is present in stars , hence stars generate energy by fusion.

However, such temperatures are difficult to maintain and control on Earth, and hence controlled fusion reaction is still not available commercially. Experiments are on , using large magnetic fields to contain the ions that undergo fusion, since no container can hold the nuclei while they undergo fusion.

Fusion is also called clean energy, since the byproducts of fusion are not radioactive, but many fission byproducts are generally radioactive.
