What is an electrical conductor and an electrical semiconductor?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Conductors are substances that allow flow of electricity through them. Although some electricity is lost in the form of heat, yet is negligible.
Eg: silver gold copper iron
Semiconductors are elements that allow electricity partially. For example they allow 50 percent and stops the rest.
Eg: silicon germanium

Is copper a conductor and a semiconductor?
Copper is a conductor but not a semiconductor.
Is a capacitor a conductor or semiconductor?
Conductor
Is iron a semiconductor?
iron is a conductor.
Is nickel a semiconductor?
Nickle is a metal.It is a good conductor.
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.
Is copper a conductor and a semiconductor?
Copper is a conductor but not a semiconductor.
What is definition of semiconductor conductor and insulator?
semiconductor is intermediate between conductor and non conductor of electricity
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Is a capacitor a conductor or semiconductor?
Conductor
What does semiconducter mean?
A semiconductor is a type of conductor whose conductibility is between a conductor and an insulator. They are typically used as parts of items like electrical circuits.
Is argon a conductor semiconductor or not a conductor?
Its an Insulator
Are lead and pyrite comparable in electrical conductivity?
Generally speaking, no, they are not. Lead is a pretty good electrical conductor, but pyrite (iron disulfide), which has variable electrical conductivity, might actually be tagged as a semiconductor.
Can be a conductor or an insulator?
" semiconductor "
What are the definition of electrodes?
An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte or a vacuum).
Is sliver a good semiconductor?
A: It not a semiconductor at all but it is a very Good conductor.
Is iron a semiconductor?
iron is a conductor.
Is gold a semiconductor?
No. Gold is a conductor.
