⚡Electrical Conductivity - Conductors and Insulators

|

🔬 Test Objects

Electricity
Electricity
The flow of tiny particles called electrons through a material. It powers lights, computers, and more!
🔗 Electricity needs a complete path (circuit) to flow. If the path is broken, the flow stops!
Conductor
Conductor
A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
🔗 Metals like copper and iron are great conductors - that's why wires are made of metal!
Insulator
Insulator
A material that blocks or stops the flow of electricity.
🔗 Rubber and plastic are insulators - that's why they cover electrical wires for safety!

🤔 Think About It!

Which materials allow electricity to flow through them?
Hint: Compare what happens with the iron nail vs. the wood stick!
