When silicon acts as conductor?
Silicon acts as a conductor when it is doped with elements that have extra electrons (n-type doping) or when it is exposed to high temperature and light, which generates additional charge carriers. In these cases, silicon can conduct electricity because it has mobile charge carriers that can move freely through the material.
What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.
How well does boron conduct electricity?
Boron is a semiconductor that has poor electrical conductivity at ambient conditions. It can conduct electricity better when doped with impurities to introduce charge carriers. Overall, it is not as efficient a conductor as metals like copper or aluminum.
Is energy transferd?
Yes, energy is transferred through energy carriers as electricity, hydrogen, ... etc.
What term refers to the flow of electricity?
The term that refers to the flow of electricity is "electric current." It is the movement of electric charge carriers, usually electrons, through a conductor.
Why is wax a poor conductor of electricity?
Wax is a poor conductor of electricity because it is mainly composed of nonpolar molecules, which do not have free electrons or ions that can move freely to carry an electric current. Additionally, its solid structure does not allow for the movement of charge carriers, further hindering electrical conductivity. As a result, wax acts as an insulator rather than a conductor.
Can electricity travel without a medium?
Normally electricity requires charge carriers that move through a medium. An alternating current can also travel - for short distances - through a vacuum, and WITHOUT charge carriers crossing the vacuum. To get more information, do some reading on capacitance and capacitors.
Why are salts conductors of electricity?
I am not sure whether pure salts conduct electricity well. However, a salt in solution tends to split into positive and negative ions - so you have lots of charge carriers in that case.I am not sure whether pure salts conduct electricity well.

Is clay a conductor?
No it does not conduct electricity, and when hard it acts as an insulator..
How does EARTH rod controls the leakages of electricity?
It acts as a ground
Why electricity is difficult to pass a resistance?
The basic idea is that in a resistor, there are less free charge carriers (usually electrons).
Does silicon dioxide conduct electricity?
Silicon dioxide is an insulator and does not conduct electricity efficiently due to its strong covalent bonds and lack of free charge carriers. However, it can become a semiconductor when doped with certain impurities to introduce charge carriers and improve its electrical conductivity.
