Insulators Flashcards
1
Q
What is the material property of an Insulator?
A
It has a High Resistivity
2
Q
Since Insulators have a High Resistivity, it means that it also has a…
A
Low Conductivity (since inversely proportional)
3
Q
What is the Band Gap of an Insulator? **
A
Band Gap > 3eV (Really Large!!) **
4
Q
In Insulators, which way do the electrons not want to move, in the band gap?
A
Electrons don’t want to move from the Valence Band → Conduction Band
