In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.

Can Electricity flow through a conductor?

Yes, electricity can flow through a conductor because conductors allow the movement of electric charges. The flow of electrons in a conductor is what carries electrical current.


What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?

The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.


When free electrons flow through a conductor with high resistance?

, they experience a greater opposition to their flow and lose more energy in the form of heat due to collisions with atoms in the material. This results in a higher temperature in the conductor and a decrease in the overall efficiency of the system.
