What do you call a material that wont carry an electric current?
An insulator
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 is a material that conducts electric current?
Material with high resistance
A material that does not carry heat well?
an insulator
What does not carry an electrical current?
An electrical insulator.
Why do materials carry current?
Materials carry current because of the way the electrons of the material behave. Current is proportional to the number of electrons. If the electrons are loosely bound on the material then they are available to carry current along the material. Copper is a common metal who's configuration means that the electrons are loosely bound and as such is very good at carrying current. If on the other hand the electrons are tightly packed into the atoms in the material then they aren't available to carry current. Materials such as glass and plastic are good examples.
What do you call a material that wont carry an electric current?
An insulator
What is the general name for the property of a material which enables it to carry an electrical current?
Conductor
What is noncunducting?
Something classed as non-conducting is a material that will not carry an electrical current.
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.
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 do you call a material that can carry electricity?
An electrical conductor is a material that can carry electricity.
What does conductor mean in science?
It means that it's a material whose outer shell electrons move freely across the surface of the material. Conductors can carry an electric current
Does earthing wire carry current?
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
What is the actual loss of voltage in 100 meter length of cable?
It depends on the material of the cable (aluminum or copper) and the gauge of the cable. (Thickness). And on the current you intend it to carry.
What materials can carry sound?
Any/every material can carry sound.
What is a material that conducts current?
Material with high resistance
