What do you call a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily?
A material that electricity can conduct electricity.
Define thermal conductivity?
ability of the material to resist the temperature
What do you call the material that resist the flow of electric current?
Insulators
A material that transmits electricity is called what?
electrically conductive material
What is a material's ability to conduct electricity?
Electrical Conductivity. If a material is able to conduct, or transfer electricity, it is considered electrically conductive.
Why does electricity flow through some things better than others?
Each material or compound has its own electrical properties that determine how well it conducts electricity. This has something to do with the free electrons in its chemical composition. But there are tables that rate every material from those that are good insulators(resist electrical current) and those that are good conductors of electricity.
What do you call a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily?
A material that electricity can conduct electricity.
Materials such as glass or ceramic that resist the flow of electricity?
"Insulators"
What do you call a material that can carry electricity?
An electrical conductor is a material that can carry electricity.
What is a meant by the words properties of materials?
Properties of the material help decide if the material should be used or not. Below are key properties to think about when selecting a material for use:1)Malleability - The ability to reshape a material (e.g metal, plastic) without cracking.2)Conductivity - The ability for a material to conduct electricity.3) Hardness - I'm sure you can guess what this is! (The ability of a material to resist scratching or wearing)
Define thermal conductivity?
ability of the material to resist the temperature
What do you call the material that resist the flow of electric current?
Insulators
Which material is malleable and conducts electricity wood ice metal or oil?
Metal is the material that is malleable and conducts electricity.
What do you call a material that does not let electricity pass through it?
A material that does not conduct (or allow the 'passage' of) electricity is called an "insulator".
Is the solid of matter in which a material is most likely to resist compression?
Yes
What material prevents the transfer of electricity?
This material is called an insulator.
A material that transmits electricity is called what?
electrically conductive material
