Contrast insulators and conductors?
Insulators do not allow electric current to flow through. Conductors allow electric current to flow through.
Why are metals good conductors of electric current?
An electric current can be carried through a metal by the free flow of the shared electrons.
What is an unbroken path through which an electrical current can flow?
A closed circuit.
Do the conductors charge when a current is passed through them?
yes
What the best conductors and insulators?
Most Metals are the best conductors. Like, silver. The best insulators are plastic, like glass. These materials are some of the best conductors/insulators because of their ability/inability to conduct electric current. Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a medium. Insulators have a high resistance and do not allow electrons to flow easily through them. Conductors have a low resistance allowing electrons to flow freely. In order to say which is the best or worst conductor you can check a resistivity table(typically measured in ohms). Be careful to look at the temperature of the material because that can change the resistivity.

Where does electric current pass?
Electric current passes through substances called "conductors", as well as "semiconductors". Conductors include all metals, and any liquid with ions in it.Electric current passes through substances called "conductors", as well as "semiconductors".

What can electric current pass easily through?
good conductors like metals
What electric current passes easily through?
good conductors like metals
Which type of materials allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them?
Conductors, such as metals.
Materials that allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them are called what?
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
Is an unbroken path through which an electric current can flow?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What is the driving force which causes electrons to flow through conductors called?
That force is called an 'electric current'.
What do you call materials that let electricity flow though?
Conductors are what the electrons flow through, in a single electric current called a circuit. Hence circuit breakers on conductors.
What is a electric circiut?
A complete, unbroken path that charges can flow through is called an electric circuit.
Why are metals good conductors of electric current?
An electric current can be carried through a metal by the free flow of the shared electrons.
What is an unbroken path through which an electrical current can flow?
A closed circuit.
