2. What is an Electrical Conductor?
• An electrical conductor conducts
electricity. The ability to conduct
electricity is called electrical
conductivity.
• In an electrical conductor, the
electrical charges moves from
atom to atom when the potential
difference is applied across them.
• Most metals are electrical
conductors.
3. Types of Electrical
Conductors
1. Plasma – the best type of electrical
conductors.
2. Semiconductors – type of
conductors that can allow
electricity to flow through but not
as well as plasma electrical
conductors.
3. Resistors – type of conductors that
makes electricity flow very difficult.
4. Conductors VS
Insulators
• Conductors are materials that
allow electricity, heat, or sound
to pass through. Insulators are
the opposite. Insulators does
not allow passage of electricity,
heat or sound.
