How Conductors Work
The solid materials have two types of bands: conduction band and valence band. In conductors both the valence and conduction band do not have any energy gap which makes electrons flow from valence band to conduction band with less voltage. When a voltage is applied to the conductors the electrons flow and the electricity flows in reverse direction. The below diagram represents the energy bands in conductors.
What is Conductor ?
Electric conductors are materials that allow electric charge to flow through their atomic structure as electrons. Insulators that obstruct the flow of electrons, and conductors allow the charged particles to move freely. In this article we will explore conductors along with conductor examples and types. We will also discuss the difference between conductor and insulator and properties, applications, advantages and disadvantages of conductor.
