Can you give me a definition of electrical conductive?

'Conductive', in the electrical sense, describes the property of a material which enables an electric current to pass through that material. An electric current is a drift of charge carriers -in the case of a metal, these charge carriers are negatively-charged free electrons, but in other materials, such as electrolytes (conducting fluids) the charge carriers may be charged atoms, called ions. For a material to act as a conductor, it needs to have sufficient charge carriers to support current flow; if there are too few, then we say the material is an insulator. There is no such thing as a 'perfect' conductor or a 'perfect' insulator, but we can list different materials on a scale where one end represents an excellent conductor (or a very poor insulator) and the opposite end represents an excellent insulator (or a very poor conductor). The property used to define whether a particular material is classified as a conductor or an insulator is termed its 'resistivity', expressed in ohm metres.

Is the water is conductor or semiconductor...give full explanation with logic.?

purest form of water is an insulator since it has no ionic particles to conduct.impure water is a good conductor sin ce it contain ionic particles


7 Give examples of a conductor and an insulator?

If we speak in terms of electrical conductivity, some good insulators are ceramics, plastics, rubber and glass. Conductors are, on the other hand, metals in general: copper, silver, gold, but there are some good conductors that are not metals, like graphite and some salt solutions.


How are conductors and insulators different give an example of a conductor and an insulator?

conductors, such as metals, have free electrons, meaning their electrons are not strongly bonded to the atoms and a charge can move easily throughout the whole object, an insulator such as wood does not have free electrons so a charge is likely to stick in one area of the insulator.


What a insulator?

An insulator is something that keeps heat in, for example, if you put a piece of fake fur around a mug of Hot Chocolate, it would act as an insulator, and would keep the heat in the mug. x if u eant insulator..then it means a poor heat conducto, or poor conductor of electricity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Materials that do not easily give up or take on electrons are called insulators.


How do you summarise give examples?

I think summarise means when you give the definition of something only in a shorter version.


What do textbook authors often provide to help make a definition clearer?

They give examples.

Give two examples of an insulator?

First of all, an insulator is something that electrons/electricity cannot flow through.So, here are some examples of insulators:- Paper- Plastic- Wood- Cloth- Glass- etc.
