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 a conducter through which an electric current enters or leaves?
A conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily. Good conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
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.
Is a conductor a material that allows electric current to flow through easily?
Yes, a conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through easily due to the presence of free-moving electrons that can carry the charge. Common examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
What is the difference between a insualator and a conductor?
An insulator is a material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily, while a conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily. Insulators have high resistance to electric current, while conductors have low resistance. This property is determined by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of the material.
What 3 things do you need to have for electric current?
To have electric current, you need a source of electric potential difference (voltage), a closed circuit that allows the flow of charges, and a conductive material through which the electric charges can move.
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 a conductor of electricity and an insulator of electricity?
A conductor of electricity is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily, such as metals. An insulator of electricity is a material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily, such as rubber or plastic.
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 allows an electric charge to pass through it easily?
A material that allows electric charges to pass through it easily is called a conductor. Conductors have mobile electrons that can move freely in response to an electric field, allowing the flow of current. Materials like metals are good conductors of electricity.
