Best Answer

A material through which an electric current flows easily is called an electrical conductor. Many metals, especially silver and copper, are excellent electrical conductors.

We call these materials electrical conductors, and metals are examples of electrical conductors (though the conductivity of metals varies a bit).

Materials that allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them are called what?

A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)


What material can electricity pass through?

As unsatisfying as I'm sure you'll find this, that depends on your definition of "electricity." If you mean electricity in the most conventional sense of an electrical current, electricity can move through any medium in which charge carrying quantons (protons, elecrtons, etc) can move at least somewhat freely.


Why does metal conduct electricity?

metal conducts electricity because it allows electrons to move freely as well as it has free electrons, unlike insulators(non-metals) which do not have free electrons. When the electrons are allowed to move freely in a substance, it is a good conductor and allows electric charge to flow.


Charges can not move freely through?

Insulators.


What is a science conductor?

A conductor is an object (usually a solid) that allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily by the process of conduction, which is a method of heat/electricity transfer in which heat/electricity travels through a solid material without actually causing movement of the medium. Copper, aluminium, and pretty much all metals are good conductors. Water is a conductor of electricity but an insulator of heat. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor, and absorbs heat/electricity rather than channeling it. Plastic is an insulator of both heat and electricity. Wood, styrofoam and vacuum (dead air, like in space) are also heat insulators.
