Electrical Conductors And Insulators

Question 1

What is a conductor

Answer 1

Material that can conduct an electric current

They are substances that offer low resistance of flow of charge

Question 2

What are the made of and why

Answer 2

Metals because the valence electrons are delocalised and can therefore move around

Question 3

What are insulators?

Answer 3

Material that cannot conduct electric current

Materials that cannot have a flow of charge

Question 4

What are they made of and examples?

Answer 4

Non metals

Plastic,wood,rubber,procelain

Question 5

Which non metal conducts electricity

Answer 5

Carbon

Question 6

Units for milicoulomb,microcoulomb and nanocoulomb

Answer 6

mC=×10 to the power of negative 3
uC=×10 to the power of negative 6
nC=×10 to the power of negative 9
