Insulators

Question 1

What is the material property of an Insulator?

Answer 1

It has a High Resistivity

Question 2

Since Insulators have a High Resistivity, it means that it also has a…

Answer 2

Low Conductivity (since inversely proportional)

Question 3

What is the Band Gap of an Insulator? **

Answer 3

Band Gap > 3eV (Really Large!!) **

Question 4

In Insulators, which way do the electrons not want to move, in the band gap?

Answer 4

Electrons don’t want to move from the Valence Band → Conduction Band
