Define conductor, insulator, semiconductors
Conductor:
- A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
- Metals such as copper and aluminum are good conductors of electricity.
Insulator:
- An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.
- Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
Semiconductor:
- A semiconductor is a material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator.
- Examples of semiconductors include silicon and germanium. Semiconductors are used in electronic devices such as transistors and diodes.
