What property of the materials used in computer chips makes them useful as switches that turn electricity on and off?
The silicon is a semiconductor and can be doped to control its conductivity and create the junctions needed to make diodes and transistors. These diodes and transistors can act as switches and logic gates in properly designed circuits. Silicon can also be easily oxidized to become a robust waterproof insulator to passivate and protect the circuits and components beneath it. The aluminium and/or copper are just good conductors used to "wire" the silicon components together and provide pads that can be used to attach wires or metal beads so that the chip can be connected to external circuits.

What does generality means in context of programming?
It means that the method (or class, or whatever you are doing) is usable outside of the current context, that the method can easily be reused in the future.
Why is it necessary to derate cables when installed in a duct?
Heat cannot escape the duct as easily as in open air. This results in the same amount of current causing the cable to heat to a higher temperature.
How differential protection work in a transformer?
Power flowing into a transformer must match the power flowing out (minus losses which are minimal). If this is not the case, there's something wrong. Differential protection monitors current only; Current flowing into one side of the transformer will be equal to current flowing out the other side scaled by the turns ratio of the transformer. Since the turns ratio is equivalent to the voltage ratio, this is easily set.
What are the characteristics of a good conductor semiconductor and insulator?
A good conductor has high electrical conductivity, allowing electric current to flow easily. A semiconductor has moderate electrical conductivity, which can be controlled using external factors like temperature or doping. An insulator has very low electrical conductivity, preventing the flow of electric current.
Difference between a semiconductor and insulator?
The difference among Metal,Semiconductor and Insulator is written bellow-1.Metal:Substances through which electricity can pass easily is called Metal.1.Semiconductor:Substance which conductivity lies between Metal and Insulator are called Semiconductor.1.Insulator:Substances through which electricity can not pass easily are called Insulator.
Material through which a current cannot pass or easily flow?
Insulator. Like wood.
A carries electric current easily while an does not?
A material that carries electric current easily is called a conductor, while a material that does not is called an insulator. Conductors have free electrons that can move easily in response to an electric field, allowing the flow of current. Insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily, preventing the flow of current.
What is a material that easily allows the flow of electric charge through it is called a semiconductor b insulator c superconductor d conductor?
conducts
What is a conductor of electricity and an insulator of electricity?
A conductor of electricity is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily, such as metals. An insulator of electricity is a material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily, such as rubber or plastic.
In physics what's the opposite of insulator?
The opposite of an insulator in physics is a conductor. Conductors allow electrical current to flow easily, while insulators inhibit the flow of current.
Is a rubber duck a conductor or insulator?
Insulator
Is copper wire a condutor or insulator?
Copper wire is a conductor of electricity. Its high conductivity allows electric current to flow easily through it.
Is steel spring insulator or conductors?
Steel is a conductor of electricity. It allows electric current to flow through it easily due to its metallic properties. It is not an insulator.
Is a tissue an insulator or conductor?
A tissue is considered an insulator because it is a poor conductor of electricity. This means that it does not easily allow electric current to flow through it.
A material which an electric current does not pass by easily?
An insulator. (plastic, glass, porcelain, wood, rubber...)
