An electrical conductor is a material whose molecules contain loose valence electrons that can easily be passed between molecules. When an electrical potential difference (aka voltage) is applied to the surface, the electrons drift toward or away from it (depending on the charge) - this is referred to as the conduction of electricity.

What does conduction require?
If you mean electrical conduction, that requires electrical charges that are fairly free to move around.
What is it called when electricity passes through metal?
Electrical conduction
What are the two ways to transfer electrical charges?
Friction - charging something by rubbing it against another object Induction - charging something by coming close to charged object, but not touching Conduction - charging something by touching a charged object
What are the applications of thermal conduction convection and radiation in electronics and communication?
The only use that I can think of is cooling of the electrical components.
What is conduction?
There are two kinds of conduction: thermal conduction and electrical conduction.In thermal conduction, thermal energy (heat) transfers through a substance from a hotter region toward a cooler region. For example, when you dip a metal spoon into a cup of tea, the heat from the hot tea will conduct along the spoon so that the handle becomes warm, even though the handle is not in direct contact with the hot tea.In electrical conduction, free electrons pass through a substance, thus enabling an electric current.Some materials are better conductors than others. Most metals are good thermal conductors, and certain metals (copper, aluminum) are very good electrical conductors. When a material is an exceptionally poor conductor, we call it an insulator. Styrofoam is a good thermal insulator, and glass is a good electrical insulator.
Why is water needed for electrical conduction?
It is not, electrical conduction will happen in coper wihtout any water present.
What does conduction require?
If you mean electrical conduction, that requires electrical charges that are fairly free to move around.
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
What is heat or electrical transfer by contact?
Conduction
What are conduction?

What are conduction band?
The quantum mechanical energy band where electrons reside in semiconductors that participate in electrical conduction.
What is an aberrant conduction?
An aberrant conduction is a heart condition where the electrical stimulus travels via an abnormal pathway.
What is the medical term meaning interruption of the electrical impulses in the heart's conduction system?
Heart block is the term meaning interruption of electrical impulses in the heart's conduction system.
What two components of the conduction system constitute the only electrical link between the atria and the ventricles?
The atrioventricular node and the bundle of HIS are the electrical conduction link between the atria and the ventricles.
What is a conduction of electrity?
The electrical resistivity of technetium is 200 nanoohm.m.
