Electricity!
Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators!
What is Electricity ?
Electricity can be defined as the energy from flowing electrons, and it affects different objects in different ways.
Conductors:
* Are materials that freely allow the flow of electrons which very little resistance. Some examples of Conductors are: Iron ( Metal in general ) and water.
Semiconductors:
Are materials that do not allow electrons flow freely, but do not directly stop them either. A example of Semiconductor is : Silicone.
Insulators:
* Are materials that greatly impede or stop the flow of electrons which very high resistance. Some examples of Insulators are: Rubber, Wood and Glass.
Difference between Conductors, Semiconductors and Insulators:
Conductors have less resistance than Semiconductors, and Insulators have more resistance than both.
