Conductors

Definition

Conductors are materials that allow electric charges to flow easily through them due to their abundance of free electrons.

Insulators:

Materials that do not allow electric charges to flow easily through them, such as rubber or plastic.

Superconductors: Materials that have zero electrical resistance at very low temperatures, allowing electric charges to flow without any loss of energy.

Ohm's Law:

A law that relates the current flowing through a conductor to the voltage across it and its resistance.
