What else can I help you with?
What is it called when electricity passes through metal?
It is called conduction when electricity passes through a metal due to the movement of free electrons within the metal's structure.
What is a metal that glows when electricity is passed through it?
Phosphorus is a non-metal that glows when electricity is passed through it. It emits a light known as phosphorescence.
Would electricity be able to pass through wood metal or plastic?
Electricity can pass through metal, since it is a good conductor of electricity. Wood and plastic are not conductive and will typically not allow electricity to pass through them, unless they are damp or have conductive materials present.
How is a slinky toy a conductor of electricity?
A slinky toy can conduct electricity because it is made of metal, which is a good conductor of electricity. When a voltage is applied to the slinky, the electrons in the metal can move freely, allowing the electricity to flow through it.
Is metal a conductor of electricity or an insulator?
Metal is a conductor of electricity, however when heated most metals become poor conductors as the atoms begun to vibrate and block the path of the electrons.
What is a liquid metal conducts electricity and does not change when a current passes through it?
This metal is mercury.
Can electricity flow through metal?
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
Does electricity make metal?
Electricity doesn't make metal. Since electricity only travels through it.
What is it called when electricity passes through metal?
It is called conduction when electricity passes through a metal due to the movement of free electrons within the metal's structure.
Why is it possible for electricity to travel through metal?
Metal is a conductor. What this means is that it has a very low resistance to electricity, allowing the electricity to flow through it. I suggest you learn how electricity works first to understand how electricity can flow through objects. http://millerwelds.com/education/basicelec/

How well electricity flows through a material?
Depends on the material. The electricity can flow through metal better then it can through wood because wood is a conductor of electricity (example).
Is metal a conductor of electricity or an insulator?
Metal is a conductor of electricity, however when heated most metals become poor conductors as the atoms begun to vibrate and block the path of the electrons.
Does electricity pass through metal?
Yes, one of the properties of metals is ability to conduct electricity.
How can energy change a radio used to generate electricity?
Radio waves when they contact metal cause the metal's electrons to move (away from the atoms they are nearest) -- electricity.
