Conductor (ELECTRICal)
The term "conductor" has many different meanings in different contexts, but in electrical terminology, it refers to a material that allows electricity to pass through it. Those materials are usually metals, which have free electrons in them that come into motion when an external force (electromotive force) is applied between their terminals. The tendency to pass electricity through it is known as conductivity. This conductivity depends upon the resistance offered by the material. And based on their conductivity, the electrical conducting materials have been classified into conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Recalling a few chemistry concepts, "an atom" is the basic constituent of all matter (whether elements or compounds), according to the modern atomic model theory. According to Rutherford's atomic model, an atom consists of a nucleus in the centre surrounded by orbiting electrons (negatively charged), as seen in the below figure. The electrons have ...
