Which type of conductor would have the longest mean free time between collisions for conduction electrons? A conductor with small conductivity would have the longest time between collisions. A conductor with small resistivity would have the longest time between collisions. A conductor with large resistivity would have the longest time between collisions. All conductors have the same mean free time between collisions for conduction electrons.
