Question

Materials which easily allow the passage of electric current are known as ______

(a) Insulators

(b) Conductors

(c) Dielectrics

(d) Semi-conductors

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I would like to ask this question from Resistivity in portion Simple DC Networks of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Conductors

To elaborate: Conductors are materials(mostly metals), which freely allow the passage of electrons through it. If electrons can flow freely through a material, it implies that even current can flow freely through that material since current is the rate of flow of electrons.
