Conductors Semiconductors And Insulators

Conductors

  • Concept: Materials that allow electricity to flow easily.
  • Examples: Metals like copper, aluminum, iron.

Semiconductors

  • Concept: Materials with electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators.
  • Examples: Silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide.
  • Uses: Electronic devices (transistors, diodes, microchips).

Insulators

  • Concept: Materials that don’t allow easy electricity flow.
  • Examples: Rubber, plastic, glass.
  • Uses: Prevent electricity flow between conductors.
