Because electrons can move freely inside of many metals. And as well known electrons are responsible for conductivity.

What passes freely through metals?

Electricity passes freely through metals due to the presence of free electrons that can move easily within the metal structure. This property makes metals good conductors of electricity.


What melts at a high temp conducts electricity and splits up when a current passes through it?

The material you are describing is likely a metal. Metals conduct electricity due to the presence of freely moving electrons, and they can melt at high temperatures, allowing the current to flow through them. When a current passes through a molten metal, electrolysis can occur, causing the metal to split into its component ions.


Can electricity flow through metal?

Yes, electricity can flow through metal.


Why is copper best conductor of eletricity?

Electricity passes through atoms in the metal and the closer together they are the better the metal is as a conductor. In copper the atoms are closer together than they are in any other metal.


Do metal objects get charged by conduction?

Yes, metal objects can become charged by conduction if they come into contact with a charged object. If a charged object is connected to a metal object, the excess charge can flow through the metal by conduction, causing the metal object to become charged.


What materials are used in the construction of a lightbulb?

A lightbulb is typically made of glass, metal, and a filament (usually tungsten) that produces light when electricity passes through it.
