Do conductors offer little resistance to the flow of electric current?
Yes- you have suggested a correct working definition for a conductor.
What is an electric conductor and insulator?
An electrical insulator is a material that resists electric current, and will not allow it to flow easily. Examples include glass and most ceramics. An electrical conductor is a material that offers very little resistance to electric current, allowing it to flow freely and easily. Most metals make excellent electrical conductors.
What is the term for an electric charge that does move?
That is called an electric current. Actually, defining an electric current as a "movement of charge" is a little simplistic, but movement of charge is certainly an important part.That is called an electric current.

Do electric conductors block electricity?
NO! Although its no, every conductor has resistance that blocks little current and dissipates in the form of heat. Its negligible in conductor. Eg: silver has lowest resistance compared to iron
What is a material with little resitance to electric current called?
This is called a conductor.
What is an electric circuit with little or no resistance?
A: As current approaches infinity on a device it is known as a current source.
Do conductors do energy transformation?
They should not, but in real life conductors transform some energy and this is called "loss". E.g., electric wire heats up when the current runs through it, a little bit of electricity is lost (due to wire's resistance) in form of heat. Transformation of energy should be kept as low as possible since any transformation in a conductor is unwanted.
Are coins good heat conductors?
Yes... Especially pennies because of the copper in them. Most coins are made of metal: nickel, copper, iron or steel. Some rare and expensive ones are made of nearly pure gold and silver. All the metals are good electricity conductors.
Why only two current in a 460 v electric system?
Your question is a little vague. Two currents would imply only two current carrying conductors, whereas the standard 460 volt power system is derived a 3 phase generator. It is possible, however, to power some types of equipment from only two phases or even a single phase along with the neutral conductor.
Hollow conductors in transmission line used to?
To reduce skin effect.CommentHollow conductors are not used on electricity transmission lines. Transmission-line conductors are normally manufactured of stranded aluminium conductors, wound around a steel-wire core. The steel core improves the conductor's tensile strength.Hollow conductors are, though, used as 'wave guides' in radio-frequency circuits. However, their purpose is not to reduce skin effect (in which most of the current flows close to the surface of the conductor), but to save copper -if most of the current flows close to the surface, then there's little point in using solid copper!AnswerHollow conductors are used on very high voltage underground cables, which are cooled by passing oil or gas through the conductors.
Gfci circuitry checks for differences in current between the?
...hot and neutral conductors. (Sounds a lot like a homework question. If so, spend a little more time reading the textbook!)
Does charge get redistributed over the surface of conductor why?
You need to define your querstion a little more. Are we talking about an electric current, or a static charge?
