Can a silicon solar cell produce electricity in large quantity?
no..silican cannot produce electricity in large quantity's because of the material its made up off
You are testing an unknown material and it CANNOT be broken down into simpler forms. What is it?
Atoms can be broken down, so it is a quark or a lepton.
Is glass a good electrical conductor?
Glass is an electrical insulator. It does not conduct electricity. Many insulators made for power transmission lines or in the older days telephone or telegraph insulators, are made out of glass due to their superior insulating qualities.
Why does distilled not conduct electricity whereas rainwater does?
For a material to conduct electricity it needs to have free charge carriers. I.e. particles with charge that can move around the material. Distilled water, or pure water only contains H2O molecules, which are neutral. Rainwater on the other hand also contains other materials such as salt, which in water falls apart into positive and negative ions. These are serviceable charge carriers, and therefore rainwater can conduct electricity.
What is the term for something electricity cannot flow through?
Insulator.
What is a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires?
Gold is the material that conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. This is unlike the other materials like aluminum, copper and steel.
How do you get electrictiy from coal?
You cannot get electricity from coal. Electricity and coal are two very different types of material.
What is the name of a substance that conducts heat and electricity poorly and is brittle and is waxy or gaseous and cannot be hammered into thin sheets of metal?
insulator; I think porcelain.hopefully.

What were the answers for additional mathematics project 2009?
WikiAnswers cannot supply the answers to current educational or testing material. The material for the previous year (2009) is at the related link.

Atoms can be broken down, so it is a quark or a lepton.
Why does nonconductive material allow the flow of electricity?
If you mean "dis"allow the flow, it's because electrons cannot travel easily between the atoms of the material.
Why salt water conduct electricity while distilled water cannot?
Dissolved and liquid salts are electrolytes and do conduct electricity. All natural waters have salts in them. Water only conducts electricity, when salts have dissolved in the water. Distilled water aka water without any salts is a nonelectrolyte and does not, as any other oxide, conduct electricity.
Who invented semiconductor why?
Who? Semiconductors were first discovered in 1833 by Michael Faraday while working at the Royal Institute in London. The first material which he realised had the properties of semi-conductance was silver sulphide, the black tarnish that appears on Silver if you don't polish it for a while. Why are they useful? Normally they do not conduct electricity, but when a voltage is applied to them, they change so they do conduct electricity. A practical example is a transistor, which is like a switch with no moving parts. When no voltage is applied to the semiconductor, the switch is effectively open (the electricity cannot flow). When a voltage is applied, the switch is effectively closed (the semiconductor conducts, so the electricity can flow through it).
What is the basic electronical building block for an intergrated circut?
The transistor. It has 3 connections on it, an in, an out, and a gate. If no electrical charge is present at the gate, it conducts electricity from the in to the out. It a charge is applied to the gate, electricity cannot flow. Single transistors are extremely small, made of 3 layers of silicon. Most are nearly, if not completely, microscopic.
What is the different between oil in water emulsion and water in oil emulsion?
If it were a cream for example water-in-oil * warmer to the skin * does not conduct electricity *Can be dyed with Sudan III *Cannot be with Food colouring oil-in-water *cooler to the touch *conducts electricity *not dyed by Sudan III *can be dyed with food colouring
