Fuses have high resistivity because they are typically made of materials like copper, silver, or alloys which have inherently high resistivity. This property allows the fuse to generate heat when current flows through it, ultimately leading to melting and breaking the circuit in case of a fault. The high resistivity ensures that the fuse can handle the current without immediately melting under normal operating conditions.
No, a material with high resistivity is a poor conductor. Resistivity is a property that quantifies how much a material resists the flow of electric current. Materials with high resistivity impede the flow of current, making them poor conductors.
Resistivity is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current. It depends on factors such as the material's composition, temperature, and dimensions. Materials with high resistivity impede the flow of current more than those with low resistivity.
The resistivity of polyamide, commonly known as nylon, typically ranges from 10^12 to 10^14 ohm-cm. This means that polyamide is considered to be a good insulator due to its high resistivity.
The resistivity of insulators typically ranges from 10^10 to 10^20 ohm-meter. This high resistivity makes insulators good at preventing the flow of electric current.
The resistivity of a good conductor is low. Good conductors have a low resistance to the flow of electric current due to their high conductivity, allowing electricity to pass through easily.
No. In fact it is the opposite. Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity so a high resistivity means low conductivity. peace.

Alumina is a good electrical insulator; at high temperatures the resistivity is smaller than the resistivity at room temperature.
A fuse is made with the material which offers high resistivity. When a large amount of electric current passes through the fuse, heat above the melting point of fuse is produced. Hence, the fuse melts.
low resistivity and low melting point.
The material for the fuse wire should have low resistance and a low melting point. Ductility is a incidental factor. As the current flow nears the fuse rating, the high current flow causes the wire to heat up quickly. It then melts, opening (breaking) the circuit. This is how the fuse limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.

Because you touch yourself at night.

Materials can be classified based on their resistivity as conductors, semiconductors, or insulators. Conductors have low resistivity, allowing electric current to flow easily. Semiconductors have resistivity in between conductors and insulators, and their conductivity can be controlled. Insulators have high resistivity and do not allow electric current to flow easily.
The material suitable for making a fuse wire should have a low melting pt. so that it can easily melt and cut off the flow of current and save the electrical appliance...
No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.
