A conductor has low electronegativity and has 3 or less electrons in the outer shell of the atom. Conductors let electrons run through them with little to no resistance.

When a charged object touches a conductor what happens?

When a charged object touches a conductor, the charge on the object will distribute itself across the surface of the conductor due to the repulsion or attraction of like and unlike charges. This process helps to neutralize the charge on the object, resulting in an overall even distribution of charge on the conductor.


How can you use a circuit to decide whether an object is a conductor or an insulator?

Well, if you have a functioning (=closed) circuit, and introduce an unknown object, then if the circuit is still functioning (=closed) then the object is a conductor. If it stops working, then it's either an insulator or an very poor conductor.


What kind of materials makes up the object labeled conductor on the transparency?

The object labeled conductor on the transparency is likely made of metal materials, such as copper or aluminum. These metals conduct electricity well due to their structure that allows electrons to move freely and carry electric current.


When an object shares its excess charge with a much larger conductor it is called?

When an object shares its excess charge with a much larger conductor, it is called "charging by induction." This process involves bringing the charged object near the conductor, causing the charges in the conductor to redistribute without direct contact. This results in the neutralization of the excess charge on the object due to the attraction and repulsion of charges in the conductor.


What is the name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?

A conductor is a substance that conducts heat or electricity.

Does a conductor have anything to do with pH?

No, a conductor has nothing to do with pH. A conductor is an object or material that conducts heat, light, or sound. pH has to to with a solution's acidity or alkalinity.
