Material that allows electricity to pass through?
Materials that allow electricity to pass through are said to be good conductors. Conductors have free electrons allow for the flow of charged particles through the material resulting in an electric charge. Most metals are considered to be good conductors, some examples include copper, aluminum, silver, and gold.
Any material that allows electricity to pass through easily?
This is called a conductor.
What material allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily Give two examples.?
metal and metal and plastic
What is the definition of the term dielectric?
'Dielectric' is often used in a general sense to refer to a material (such as ceramic, mica, plastic or paper) which is a poor conductor of electricity. This term is used in the classical description of a capacitor -- two electric conductors separated by a dielectric. By applying electric charge to one conductor an electric field is created. The dielectric allows the electric field to pass through it and affect the other conductors; however the dielectric prevents electrons from flowing between the conductors, so the electric field remains (and the charge remains stored on the conductor). [Side note for beginners: An electric field creates a force (measured in Volts) upon an electron or charged particle which tends to make it move. The conductor allows electrons to move easily within it. The dielectric resists the movement of electrons in it.] More generally, we speak of a 'Dielectric Field' as a mathematic description of how electric charge influences the properties of the space around it. The Dielectric field interacts with space and with any material in the space to create an 'Electric Field'. In simple terms, the electric field at any point is the product of the dielectric field at that point and the 'Dielectric Constant' of the material at that point. In more general terms, the 'electric field vector' at a point is the tensor product of the 'dielectric field vector' and the 'dielectric tensor' of the material at that point. The dielectric field is not a measurable entity, but rather a mathematical tool that allows us accurately to model the electric field, which is measurable. The article on Dielectrics at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric provides more description, especially on the dielectric field model.
What is the property of a material that allows it to be pulled into a wire?
This is called ductility.
Is this sentence incorrect any material that allows an electric current to pass through is called a battery?
Incorrect. Any material that allow electric current to pass through it is a conductor.
What material allows electric current to pass through?
Electric current flows in conducting materials such as metals. The best conductor of electric current is silver, followed closely by copper and then aluminium.
How are condutors and insulators different?
A conductor is any material that allows an electric current to pass through easily and an insulator is a material that stops or slows energy
What is it that allows electric current to flow through it?
A conductor.
Materials that allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them are called what?
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
An material that allows electricity to pass through it easily?
It would be an electric conductor.
What is a material that readily allows electric charges to pass through it?
Copper is very good conductor of electric charge. That is why it is invariably used in the electric motors.
What allows electric current to pass through each part one after another?
A 'series circuit' does that.
What allows the current to enter the electronromagnet in an electric motor?
The resistor allows current to enter the electromagnet in an electric motor. The resistor regulates the amount of current that enters the electric motor.
What do you call the liquid that allows electric current to pass through?
Electric current does not need a liquid. It can pass in solids, liquids, gases, and even empty space. If it passes through a liquid, the liquid is called an electrolyte.
What is a current circuit?
A current circuit refers to a closed path through which electric current flows. It is formed by connecting various electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, with conducting wires. The current circuit allows the flow of electric charges, usually in the form of electrons, from the power source to the load.
What is a material that allows current to easily flow?
A conductor is a material that allows current to easily flow.
