most non ferrous materials are poor conductors with exceptions


Identify materials that are commonly used as conductors to provide household electricity?

Non metallic sheathed cable is used as conductors in home wiring.See related links below.


How do semiconductor differ from conductor and insulators?

SemiConductor = Kind-of-conducts.Really! By applying electricity to the conducting material (usually in a transistor or Integrated chip) the conduction rate of the material changes. This allows you to change the flow of electricity through the semiconductor by using a second smaller control voltage.This is the basis of most electrical components.Conductors(made out of materials that are not semi-conductors) fully allow electricity to flow through it.Insulators (Non-Conductors)completely block the flow of electricity.


Does electricity flow through stone?

Stone is a bad conductor of heat and electricity so very very less or no electricity will flow Most stones does not conduct electricity since they are non-metallic and non-conductive especially when dry. However, when wet there is a bigger possibility to conduct electricity, but it is due to water not of the stone. On the other hand, some stones which are called gemstones or crystallized stones conduct electricity, it is called piezoelectric crystals. To give you an example of crystals, quartz, topaz,and tourmaline are known for their piezoelectric effect.


Elements that are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity?

There are 17 nonmetals in the periodic table, and they are characterized by four major physical properties. 1. They rarely have metallic luster. 2. They are usually gases at room temperature. 3. Nonmetallic solids are neither malleable nor ductile. 4. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

No, Graphite is also a conductor which is non metal (carbon) other conductors are electrolytes, these are the compounds which become ionized in water and conduct the electricity.

Are halogens good conductors of electricity?

Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, and it is located in group 7 of the periodic table, i.e., it is a halogen. It is a non-metal and thus is a poor conductor of both electricity and heat.
