What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electricity?
Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.
Why diamond is a poor conductor of heat?
It's pure carbon. If molded glass or ceramic is a resistor , then diamond must be even more so, as it can withstand more heat and pressure than either one of those materials.
Is a lamp contact a conductor or insulator?
The "contact" ... that is, the point where one side of the power circuit is connected ... must be a conductor. When the switch is 'open', then one contact is physically separated from the other one, and no current flows between them. But the contacts themselves are still conductors.
What happens to metals as they conduct electricity?
The electrons in a conductor will support the movement of electric current. A conductor is defined as a material with a number of electrons in its makeup that are actually in what is called the conduction band. The conduction band is an energy level where electrons must be to permit conduction in a material. If the minimum energy in the conduction band in a material is such that a lot of electrons in that material are already at or above that level, then these electrons will be available to support current flow. Remember that electron current flow is moving electrons, and it is not about sending an electron into a conductor, like a wire, at one end and getting that same electron out at the other. It is about sending a bunch of them in at one end, and all the electrons already in the conductor move over and a bunch come out the other end. The electrons already in the conduction band within the conductor support current flow in this way.
The neutral conductor at sub panels must be?
separate from the ground.
What must move in a coil of wire to make electricity?
A conductor
Is Iron a conductor or insulator of electricity?
Note: current is conducted, not "electricity". Electricity covers all things and phenomenon electrical. Iron is a conductor.
Is metal a conductor of electricity?
For a material to conduct electricity, it must have free movable electric charges, such as free electrons or free ions, in order to 'carry' electricity. In the case of metals, there is a 'sea' of delocalized electrons. These free electrons can 'carry' the electricity, and thus, it is a conductor.

What terms describe the metallic core of a wire?
conductorThe core of a wire is the center, the metal part. And insulator is the wrapping on the outside, and it makes sure that the electricity doesn't harm you. Electricity must have a conductor to work, and metal is an excellent conductor.

What must be present in liquids for them to conduct electricity?
I believe it's the chemical composition itself that determines if a liquid is a conductor or not.
Which would cause most of the free electrons to move in a conductor to move in the same direction?
In the theory of electricity, you must have a current for electrons to all move in one direction.
Which of these vessels must carry an anchor and anchor line?
sailboat with an engine
Can lightning or electricity strike without a conductor?
Yes ... sort of. Without a conductor the voltage must be high enough to jump the gap. With lightning this happens all the time (the voltage is massive), but seldom happens with commercial power supplies.
What is the properties of material that is durable and conductor of electricity?
There is no electric field inside a conductor.Otherwise, the charges in the conductor would move.Charges exist only on the surface of a conductor.Otherwise, there would be electric fields inside.All points of a conductor are at the same potential.Since DV=-EDx, since E=0, the potential must be constant.
In what form does sodium chloride conduct electricity?
For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
