"insulators"
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
Materials such as metals (e.g. copper, aluminum) and conductive materials (e.g. graphite) produce heat energy when electric current is passed through them because of resistance. Resistance is the property that causes the material to hinder the flow of electrons, converting electrical energy into heat energy. This phenomenon is known as Joule heating.
No, resistivity cannot be negative. Resistivity is a material property that indicates how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is always a positive quantity, even though some materials may have very low resistivity values.
Mica is not a conductor of electricity. It is actually an insulator, meaning it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Mica is often used in electrical and electronic applications as an insulating material to prevent current flow.
Electricity can flow through materials called conductors, such as metals like copper and silver. These materials have outer electrons that are not tightly bound to their atoms, allowing them to move freely and carry electric current.
Conductors.

Because current cannot pass through them. They stop one part of a circuit from interfering with another.
A material through which an electric current flows easily is called an electrical conductor. Many metals, especially silver and copper, are excellent electrical conductors.

They both do. Voltage is a measure of electrical pressure. Amperage is a measure of electrical flow (current) (amount of electricity flowing). High voltage by itself will not kill you but will leave a nasty taste in your mouth. At the right pressure your heart can be stopped though by a single amp.

No, resistivity cannot be negative. Resistivity is a material property that indicates how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is always a positive quantity, even though some materials may have very low resistivity values.
The typical automobile operates on DC (Direct Current) even though the typical alternator produces AC (Alternating Current) which is then converted to DC.
As regards electrical conductors, these materials have free electrons that will support electric current flow. In general, all metals will conduct electricity, though some do it better than others. We know that silver, copper, gold and aluminum top the list of metals that have high electrical conductivity.Insulators don't have free electrons to support electric current flow. These materials include rubber, dry wood and dry paper, many plastics, glass, ceramics and many other materials.Boobaa
In electrical terms AC means alternate current and DC means direct current. AC/DC comes from Australia (Perth and Sydney) even though most of them have Scottish heritage.
Yes, electricity can run through brass because it is a conductive alloy primarily made of copper and zinc. The presence of copper in brass allows it to conduct electrical current, though it is not as conductive as pure copper. Brass is often used in electrical applications where corrosion resistance is also a factor. However, for optimal conductivity, materials like copper or aluminum are typically preferred.
