Most metals conduct electricity. Copper and gold are probably the two best conductors. Steel conducts electricity, but it's an alloy not an element. Some other nonmetals also conduct electricity. Experiments are ongoing with carbon for use in computers. Neon is a gas which allows electricity to flow through it, making neon lights. Today Copper is used more than anything else when electricity must move from one place to another predictably.
What else can I help you with?
What group of metals are the best conductors of heat and electric current?
all metals are good conductors of heat and electric currents
Could you build a working electric circuit using glass rods as the conductors why or why not?
Could you build a working electric circuit using glass rods as the conductors? Why or why not?
Materials that allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them are called what?
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
Are most metals electrical insulators?
No, most metals are electrical conductors. This means that most metals will conduct an electric current in the presence of an electric field.
Name three conductors of sound?
Three of the most common substances are air, water and dirt. Just about anything that can have its molecules or particles vibrated will conduct sound.
Objects that allow electrons to move are called?
Electric conductors.
What group of metals are the best conductors of heat and electric current?
all metals are good conductors of heat and electric currents
Which would be an electric conductor?
Metals are good electric conductors.
What is the meaning ofjunction box?
A box through which the main conductors of a system of electric distribution pass, and where connection is made with branch circuits.
What is the meaning of junction box?
A box through which the main conductors of a system of electric distribution pass, and where connection is made with branch circuits.
Is three phase transmission line is example of bundle conductor?
'Bundled' conductors describe a line in which two or more conductors are supported from the same insulator chain. In the UK, 275-kV transmission lines typically use two conductors per line, and 400-kV transmission lines typically use four conductors per line. The purpose of bundling conductors is to spread the electric stress on the conductors (e.g. for four conductors, the same amount of electric flux will be 'shared' between the four conductors, rather than concentrated on the surface of one conductor).
What does the electric current have?
In metal conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons.
What is a loop of electrical conductors called?
A loop of electrical conductors is called a circuit. It provides a path for electric current to flow.
Which of the following is a property of nonmetals poor conductors of electric current very reactive with water malleable shiny?
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.
What is a path of electric conductors called?
The path of electric conductors is called a complete circuit. It lets electrons a path to flow from their source to the load and back again.
What is composed of two conductors separated by an insulator?
A capacitor is composed of two conductors separated by an insulator, which stores electric charge between the conductors.
What allows electric charges to move through them easily?
Materials that are good conductors of electricity allow electric charges to move through them easily. This is because conductors have free moving electrons that can carry the electric charge. Metals such as copper and aluminum are examples of good conductors of electricity.
