Conductors

Conductors are materials that allow electricity or heat to flow through them easily. In the context of electricity, conductors are materials through which electric current can pass, while in the context of heat, conductors allow heat to transfer through them.

Examples of Conductors:

• Metallic wires
• Copper
• Aluminum
• Silver
• Gold
• Iron

Properties of Conductors:

• Conductors have a high density of free electrons, which facilitates the flow of electric current.
• They have low resistance to the flow of electricity, allowing for efficient conduction.
• Conductors are often malleable and ductile, making them easy to shape and form.
• They are good conductors of both electricity and heat.

Applications of Conductors:

Conductors are widely used in various electrical and thermal applications, including:

• Electrical wiring and cables
• Electric circuits and components
• Heat exchangers and thermal systems
• Electronic devices and appliances
