What is an electrical conductor?

Answer 1

• electrical/electronic definition: a material with low electrical resistance at standard temperature and pressure.
• solid state physics definition: a material with many electrons occupying conduction band energy levels at standard temperature and pressure. these conduction band electrons form an "electron gas" which fills the bulk of the material and like a real gas readily flows through the material.

Answer 2

An electrical conductor is a substance that permits electrons to flow through it easily.

Most metals are good conductors.

In contrast, insulators are strongly resistant to any flow of electrons.

Semiconductors can be controlled in their conductivity, to be either "on" or "off" depending upon other factors - such as the polarity and size of the voltage applied to them - and are thus very useful in electronics circuits.

Answer 3

A melted or dissolved compound that has broken apart into ions (anions and cations). Applying an electric field across an electrolyte causes the anions and cations to move in opposite directions, thereby conducting electrical current while gradually separating the ions.

Answer 4

• electrical/electronic definition: a material with low electrical resistance at standard temperature and pressure.
• solid state physics definition: a material with many electrons occupying conduction band energy levels at standard temperature and pressure. these conduction band electrons form an "electron gas" which fills the bulk of the material and like a real gas readily flows through the material.
