Define the 'potential difference between the ends of a conductor'?

Potential difference between the ends of a conductor refers to the electrical energy difference per unit charge between two points in the conductor. It is commonly known as voltage and is measured in volts. A potential difference is necessary for the flow of electric current in a conductor.


What is the difference between a good conductor and a por conductor?

A good conductor allows electricity to flow easily through it, such as metals like copper. A poor conductor, or insulator, restricts the flow of electricity, such as rubber or glass.


What does a current flow of electrons need?

Your question is not clear. A current is generated when a group of electrons flow through a conductor, and this happens when there is a potential difference between the 2 ends of the conductor. If you want to know how can we start the flow of electrons it is by creating a potential difference in between the 2 ends of the conductor.


Which condition must exist between two points in a conductor in order to maintain a flow of charge?

There must be a potential difference between the two points in the conductor in order to maintain a flow of charge. This potential difference creates an electric field that drives the charges to move from one point to another.


What is difference between a conductor and fair conductor?

A conductor is someone who directs an orchestra or a musical group, while a fair conductor typically refers to an individual who operates rides or attractions at a fair or amusement park. Both roles involve overseeing and managing activities, but in different contexts.

What is the difference between a plastic conductor and a metal conductor?

metal is like tine and plastice is not like tine


How are voltages imported into installations through the supply neutral conductor?

A 'voltage' is another name for a potential difference. As the name implies, a potential difference exists between two different points or, in the case of an electrical installation, between the line conductor and the neutral conductor. So the neutral does not 'import voltages'. Voltages exist between the line (hot) conductor and the neutral conductor.

What is the difference between heat conductor and electricity conductor?

Example: aluminum is a good conductor of heat as to a wire touching another exposed wire will cause crossing of electrodes


What is the difference between emitter and conductor?

A: BIG DIFFERENCE emitting is the study of electronics conduction is the study of current flow


Does the electron oscillates in the conductor or the move from one site to another in the conductor?

When a potential difference exists between two points of a conductor, electrons slowly drift between those two points along that conductor. If there is no potential difference within the metal, then the electrons simply float randomly between atoms within the metal. Electrons would only oscillate in response to an external, oscillating voltage.


What is the difference between a good conductor and a por conductor?

A good conductor allows electricity to flow easily through it, such as metals like copper. A poor conductor, or insulator, restricts the flow of electricity, such as rubber or glass.


Why is the potential difference between two points in a good conductor so small that it can be neglected?

Potential difference V = I R. Here I is the current passing through the conductor. R is the resistance of the conductor. In case of good conductor the resistance will be almost zero and so the product too becomes almost zero. Hence the potential difference is neglected.
