A)The resistance of a conductor is proportional to the resistivity of the material of which the conductor is composed.

D)A material that obeys Ohm's law reasonably well is called an ohmic conductor or a linear conductor

E)Good conductors of electricity have larger conductivity values than insulators.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each statement separately:

A)The resistance of a conductor is proportional to the resistivity of the material of which the conductor is composed. --> TRUE.

The resistance of a conductor is given by

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

where

$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the conductor

A is its cross-sectional area

From the formula, we see that the resistance is proportional to the resistivity.

B)Semiconductors have resistivity values that are larger than those of insulators. --> FALSE.

Insulators are material in which electrons cannot travel freely, so they do not conduct electricity well, and so their resistivity is very high. On the other hand, semiconductor can conduct electricity (electrons are able to move), so their resistivity is lower than insulators.

C)The resistance of a conductor is proportional to the conductivity of the material of which the conductor is composed. --> FALSE.

The resistance of a conductor (R) is actually inversely proportional to the conductivity of the material:

$R\propto \frac{1}{\sigma}$

where $\sigma$ is the conductivity.

D)A material that obeys Ohm's law reasonably well is called an ohmic conductor or a linear conductor --> TRUE.

For ohmic conductors, the relationship between voltage and current is linear, and it is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

where V is the voltage, I the current, and R the resistance.

E)Good conductors of electricity have larger conductivity values than insulators. --> TRUE.

Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistance: the higher the conductivity, the better the material conducts electricity. So, good conductors have high conductivity, while insulators (which do not conduct electricity) have high resistance and low conductivity.

The chart shows the costs and shipping times for materials that a company needs to build a new product. which describes the best trade-off if the company needs to start building their product within the next two years? they should order the domestic materials because it is always best to choose the fastest shipping time. they should order the imported materials because it is always best to choose the lowest cost for materials. since the shipping time is longer, they should order the domestic materials because the additional cost is worth it to get the materials in time. even though the shipping time is longer, they should order the imported materials because they are less expensive and should arrive in plenty of time to build the product.
