CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY
Conductors are the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them. They conduct electricity because they allow electrons to flow easily inside them from atom to atom. Also, conductors allow the transmission of heat or light from one source to another.
EXAMPLE:
humans, earth, and animals are all conductors. This is the reason we get electric shocks! Moreover, the human body is a good conductor.
GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY:
GOOD CONDUCTORS ARE THOSE MATERIAL WHICH ALSO ELECTRICITY TO PASS THROUGH IT EASILY. ALSO THEY CAN BE USED TO MAKE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT.
EXAMPLES:
- COPPER
- ALUMINIUM
- TAP WATER
- LEMON JUICE
- MERCURY
- SILVER
- GOLD
- STEEL
- IRON
- SEA WATER
BAD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY:
BAD CONDUCTOR ARE THOSE MATERIAL WHICH DO NOT ALLOW ELECTRICITY TO PASS THROUGH IT EASILY. ALSO THEY CANNOT BE USED TO MAKE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT.
EXAMPLES:
- DISTILLED WATER
- WOOD
- ALCOHOL
- PLASTIC
- RUBBER
- AIR
- OIL
- PURE WATER
- DRY COTTON
- QUARTZ
- DRY PAPER
- a material of such low conductivity that the flow of current through it is negligible.
- insulating material, often glass or porcelain, in a unit form designed so as to support a charged conductor and electrically isolate it.
Insulators are materials that inhibit the flow of electrical current. The opposite of conductors, which allow electric particles to flow freely, insulators are implemented in household items and electrical circuits as protection. Thermal insulation is similar, but it constricts the flow of heat rather than electricity.
