Does the type material used affect how electricity is conducted?

ABSOLUTELY. think of the different in using for example paper or copper. paper wont conduct electricity at all. copper on the other hand is a VERY good conductor of electricity.
the same applies for different types of metals. some are excellent conductors, others arent, or dont conduct at all.
this comes down 2 the chemistry of the metals. metals which have "free-flowing electrons" are good conductors

What is an explanation of n-type and p-type semiconductors?
In n-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by NEGATIVE charges (electrons). In a p-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by POSITIVE charges (holes).
What type of material does not conduct heat or electricity?
Yes,it is the plastics,wood.our clothes that donot conduct heat or electricity
What is the meaning of conductor?
A good type of material that transfers heat or electricity well.
What type of material would you use to make thin wire and conduct electricity?
copper
What are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Temperature, thickness, length and type of wire.
What factor affects the resistance of a conductor?
This are the factor which affect resistance of a conductor (1). Area of conductor (2). Length of conductor (3) Temperature (4). Type or substance of material used in conducting the electricity.
What are the factors that affect the corrosion of metal?
climate and size or type of material...

Can string conduct electricity?
Not unless its a string of some conductive material. Please be more specific on the actual type of string (what its made of).
What keeps electricy in the light bulb in a lamp?
Electricity flows through a light bulb and does not stay in it. Electric current is flowing electrons that has energy. When the electricity flows through some material, the properties of the material resists the flow. This causes the material to heat up and if it is thin and of the right type of material, it will glow. Think of it as a water pipe. When the pipe gets thinner, the water pressure builds up.
What factors affect the spread of corrosion?
Examples: temperature, material stress, surface deffects in materials, humidity, type of atmosphere, type of alloy, unprotected surfaces.
