Exactly how are you trying to feel it ?

By definition, electric current is the flow of charge through the conductor.

You can't feel the flow of anything through the conductor unless some of it

flows through you.

That's exactly how an ammeter measures current in the conductor. You cut

the conductor, and connect the ammeter in the space, so that any current in

the conductor has to go through the meter. Similarly, you don't feel current

unless it's flowing through you.

Just be careful, and don't go around inserting yourself into circuits in an attempt

to feel currents. You see, the muscles and nerves in your body all operate electrically,

and it only takes a very small current to make nerves and muscles go totally haywire,

and even to kill. Do it the smart, safe way ... use a meter.

Is steel a conductor insulator?

Steel is a conductor of electricity due to its metallic properties. It allows electric current to flow through it easily. It is not an insulator like materials such as rubber or plastic, which resist the flow of electric current.


Is lemon a good conductor?

No, lemon is not a good conductor of electricity. It has a high resistance to electrical current due to its low water content and lack of metallic properties.


Is baking soda a good electrical conductor?

No, baking soda is a poor electrical conductor. It is a non-metallic compound and does not have free-moving electrons that can carry an electric current.


Which particles constitute current in a metallic conductor?

In metallic conductors, current is carried by free electrons. These electrons are not bound to individual atoms and are able to move freely throughout the material in response to an applied electric field, allowing for the flow of electric current.


Is copper white a conductor or insulator?

Copper is a metal, so it has metallic bonding. This means that the electrons are free to move & carry a current. So copper is a good conductor of heat & electricity.
