It is also used in electrical insulators due to its high resistivity and low dielectric constant.
Calcium has a higher resistivity than copper or aluminium.
This again may be due to the very peculiar structure and high resistivity of nanohorns.
Geological materials are generally poor electrical conductors and have a high resistivity.
The alloy also has high resistivity and activation energy.
However the double exchange model did not adequately explain the high insulating-like resistivity above the transition temperature.
Replies: Pure water has a very high resistivity, but it is finite.
Archaeological features can be mapped when they are of higher or lower resistivity than their surroundings.
An insulator like glass has low conductivity and a high resistivity.
Materials with extremely high resistivity, such as Teflon, may retain excess charge for many hundreds of years.
