What matter has the ability to carry an electric current?
An electrical conductor has the ability to carry an electric current. Most of the best conductors are metals such as copper. Water containing ions can also conduct an electric current (which lead-acid batteries rely on)
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by?
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by a wire. This wire has been specifically adapted to carry this current.
What do you call a material that wont carry an electric current?
An insulator
Does copper wire carry electric current?
It is a conductor & common in wiring.
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
How is the electric current carry through the solution of the ionic compounds?
by moving the ions
What is a material that will carry an electric current called?
A material that will carry an electric current is called a conductor. Conductor materials have high electrical conductivity, allowing the flow of electric charges with minimal resistance. Examples of conductors include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver.
What does the current that flows in an electric circuit carry?

What part of a circuit is the wire cable or switch?
Wire is the transition material used to carry the electric current; the switch is the controller of that current.
Does plastic protect you from electric current?
No, practically all plastic is an insulator. An insulator does not carry any electrical currents. A conductor can carry a current. "What plastics are conductive?", you may ask -- see link below.
Does the gauge of a wire change the amount the energy it carries?
It determines the amount of electric current it can safely carry
Two parallel wires carry electric current in opposite directions the magnetic forces of the two wires are?
Repulsive
