Solution

To determine which material offered the greatest resistance to electrical flow, we need to calculate the resistance (R) for each material using Ohm's Law, which states:

R=VI R = \frac{V}{I}

where:

  • R R is the resistance in ohms (Ω),
  • V V is the voltage in volts (V),
  • I I is the current in amperes (A).

Let's calculate the resistance for each material:

  1. Material E:

    • Voltage (V V ) = 1.5 V
    • Current (I I ) = 0.005 A R=1.50.005=300Ω R = \frac{1.5}{0.005} = 300 \, \Omega
  2. Material F:

    • Voltage (V V ) = 1.5 V
    • Current (I I ) = 0.002 A R=1.50.002=750Ω R = \frac{1.5}{0.002} = 750 \, \Omega
  3. Material G:

    • Voltage (V V ) = 1.5 V
    • Resistance (R R ) = 500 Ω (given directly)
  4. Material H:

    • Voltage (V V ) = X V (not given directly)
    • Current (I I ) = 0.010 A
    • Resistance (R R ) = 150 Ω (given directly)

Now, we compare the resistances:

  • Material E: 300 Ω
  • Material F: 750 Ω
  • Material G: 500 Ω
  • Material H: 150 Ω

The material with the greatest resistance is Material F with 750 Ω.

Therefore, the answer is: b) F

This problem has been solved
