SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 40

SSC CGL - 02 Dec 2022 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q40

What do you call a component of identical size that offers a higher resistance to electricity?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Poor conductor.

Poor conductors are materials that do not allow electric current to pass through them easily due to their high resistance. Examples include rubber, glass, and plastic. These materials are often used in electrical insulation to prevent the flow of electricity, ensuring safety and preventing short circuits. Unlike good conductors like metals, poor conductors resist the movement of electrons, reducing the flow of current.
