What kind of material are in most conductors?
Most conductors contain metals. These provide the free electrons, which can pass a current.
What is different between electricity and electronic?
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a cable. Electronics is set of conductors and semi-conductors (again kind of cables) through which electrons flow in specific way, needed by the machine.
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.
What gives electrons there electricity?
Electrons don't have electricity they only posses energy, Electricity is defined as the flow of electrons! In conductors the flow of valence electrons are called Electricity! therefore inducing a current in it! generally the direction of flow the current is the opposite of the direction of flow of electrons(D.C)!
What is the difference between the resistance of conductor and insulator?
Conductors allow most, if not all, electricity to pass through it. This is due to "wandering electrons" that aren't tightly bound to the nucleus of the conductor itself.Resistors conduct some, but not all electricity to pass. It somewhat resists it, hence resistors.Insulators do not allow electricity to pass through it due to the electrons being so tightly bound to the nucleus.
How do you account for fair and poor conductors of electricity?
The mobility of the electrons in matter. Tightly bound electrons make for poor conductors.
Why conductors conduct electricity?
Conductors conduct electricity because they have free electrons.
Why can conductors conduct electricity?
Conductors conduct electricity because they have free electrons.
Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
Substances whose atom have many free electrons are good?
F. Conductors!
What types of electrons are there in conductors?
free electons
Good conductors contain many free?
Good conductors contain many free electrons.
Is sodium a conductor of electricity?
The same reason that all conductors are conductors: it has a lot of free electrons.
Why are metals better conductors than ceramics?
Metals are better conductors than ceramics because they have a large number of loose electrons. Electricity has loose electrons.
Why does a semiconductor have fewer electrons than a conductor?
Valence electrons only are able to cross the energy gap in semiconductors since it is greater than that of conductors. That is why semiconductors have fewer free electrons than conductors.
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat?
Yes. Think of metals as a sea of electrons where electrons can move freely. To get electricity, you need to have a current, which is the movement of electrons.
In solid Conductors Electric current is the flow of?
electrons
