Question 73370 • LA-Physical Science A

Fatima is designing an advanced graphics card for a next-generation video game system. She needs to be able to precisely control the conductivity of the electronic components. For this purpose, she should use materials that are [___].

Answer
A
brittle
B
semiconducting
C
volatile
D
insulating

Explanation

Semiconductors have conductivity that can be controlled, which makes them useful in electronic components such as those in a graphics card. Brittle describes how easily a material breaks, volatile describes how readily it vaporizes, and insulating materials resist the flow of electricity.
