Wouldn't that mean it has low resisitivity?tim_lou said:putting a paper in between electrodes?
I remember my high school physics teacher doing this demo a while back and he ended up with a burning paper.

Resistivity is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electrical current. It is represented by the Greek letter rho (ρ) and is measured in ohm-meters (Ωm).
The resistivity of paper is typically measured using a four-point probe method. This involves passing an electrical current through the paper and measuring the voltage drop across four points on the paper's surface. The resistivity can then be calculated using the dimensions of the paper and the measured voltage and current.
The resistivity of paper can be affected by various factors such as moisture content, temperature, and the type of fibers used in the paper. Higher moisture content and lower temperatures can increase the conductivity of paper, resulting in a lower resistivity. Additionally, paper made from conductive fibers, such as carbon-based fibers, will have a lower resistivity compared to paper made from non-conductive fibers.
The resistivity of paper is important because it can impact the performance of electronic devices that contain paper as an insulating material. If the resistivity is too low, it can result in electrical interference or short circuits. On the other hand, if the resistivity is too high, it can lead to poor conductivity and affect the efficiency of the device.
The resistivity of paper can be controlled by adjusting the factors that affect it, such as the moisture content and temperature during production. Additionally, using different types of fibers or adding conductive materials to the paper can also help control its resistivity. Testing and monitoring the resistivity throughout the production process can also ensure that the paper meets the desired specifications for its intended use.
