Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.
Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
Why the diode called polarity switch explain?
A diode will only conduct electricity if the polarity of the current is in the correct direction, because diodes can only conduct in one direction.
Is silicone a conductor of electricity?
Silicon can conduct electricity, but not nearly as well as copper does. The conductivity of silicon depends a great deal on what is mixed with it, because this affects how tightly it holds on to its outer electrons. Silicon is the main ingredient in glass, which does not conduct electricity. Silicon is also used to make semi-conductors, which do conduct electricity, but still not as well as copper does. (That's why they're called semi-conductors instead of conductors.) It is a semiconductor and can be controlled by doping it with Arsenic, Indium, Gallium, etc. to become an insulator or good conductor when applying a voltage across it. For more information see the Related link shown below.
Why are metals good conductors of electrcity while rubber and plastic are insulators?
the reason metals are good conductors is because in their subatomic structure electrons float as if in a sea, also called a sea of electrons that is why you can magnetize most metals and they conduct electricity.
A substance that will conduct electricity only under certain condition is called what?
semiconductors! SEMICONDUCTORS it will do it in some condition
What is a substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under other circumstances?
A substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under others is called a semiconductor.
The property of a substance that enables it to conduct electricity may also allow the same substance to conduct heat. An insulator does not conduct heat well. What elements are good insulators?
it is called conductivity if it is carrying electric it is electrical conductivity. If it is carrying Heat it is thermal conductivity.

What is an object called that doesnot conduct electricity?
An object that does not conduct is called an insulator
What is an electrical insulator an conductor?
The substances that do not conduct electricity are called electrical insulators while those which conduct electricity are called conductors.
What is the group of elements called that do not conduct electricity?
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
What is a liquid called when it can conduct electricity?
ELECTROLYTES
What is the ability to conduct heat electricity or sound?
The ability to conduct heat or electricity is acutally called conductivity.
What solution conducts to electricity is called what?
A solution which can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
What are the group of elements called that can conduct electricity?
Conductors
