Conductor:
A conductor is an object or kind of material that permit the flow of electrical current in one or more directions. A metal wire is a familiar electrical conductor.
Pure essential silver is the best electrical conductor encountered in everyday life. Copper, steel, gold, aluminum, and brass are also good conductors. In electrical and electronic systems, all conductors comprise solid metals molded into wires or etched onto circuit boards.

In addition, all insulators become electrically conductive when a sufficiently large voltage is applied that the electric field tears electrons away from the atoms. This is known as the breakdown voltage of an insulator. Some materials such as glass, paper and Teflon, which have high resistivity, are very good electrical insulators. A much larger class of materials, even though they may have lower bulk resistivity, are still good enough to prevent major current from flowing at normally used voltages, and thus are employed as insulation for electrical wiring and cables. Examples include rubber-like polymers and the majority …show more content…
Silicon and Germanium are good semiconductor materials.
Semiconductors are materials that have resistivity values in between those of conductors and insulators, they are neither good conductors nor good insulators.
Semiconductor materials are used to create a range of devices that are used in modern electronic circuits. In order to understand how these devices work we must first gain an understanding of the electrical properties of naturally occurring (intrinsic) semiconductors. We then need to learn about the electrical properties of extrinsic semiconductors. Extrinsic semiconductor material is just a naturally occurring pure semiconductor material that has been modified by a developed process.
Formula related to current and charge:
Electric charge in a solid is carried by particles called electrons. One electron has a very small charge and so for handy measurement of electric charge we use units called
Conductor: stranded wires from copper or aluminum with a suitable cross sectional area relating to the ampere of the load 2. Inner semiconductor: uniform and distribute the electric field to prevent interference between
7.4.1.1 Dielectric withstanding voltage The purpose of this test is to prove that a connector can operate safely at its rated voltage and will be able to withstand momentary over potentials due to switching, surges and other similar phenomena. The applied voltage can be either AC or DC. The voltage should be applied across the two closely spaced contacts as well as between a connector shell and the contacts closest to the shell. The test voltage in the case of coaxial connectors shall be applied between the inner and outer conductor. The voltage should be ramped up uniformly from zero to rated value.
Therefore, the purpose of the lab, which was established as, to see the role that static electricity has on objects, when determining their charge and how they interact, is fulfilled in a wall mannered fashion. This process extends to other objects and real world applications, such as the controlling of electrical cable manufacturing and application in areas such as a television depot station, where static electricity must be managed and accounted for to avoid disruptions. As well as in micro surgery where small mechanical devices and robots must be carefully monitored in electron level in order to preserve machine functionality and efficiency. Therefore, the purpose of the lab is met and the hypotheses was supported, proving the quality and efficiency of the lab being

This shows that these substances conduct electricity as a solid. The next test was conductivity as a solution. From our findings, sucrose had poor conductivity, while ascorbic acid and sodium chloride had good conductivity. Ascorbic acid conducts electricity because
This disproved my hypothesis that Powerade would have the most electrolytes and proved that orange juice contains more and would be better for hydration. It answered my investigative question of which liquid would have the most electrolytes with orange juice coming in first place, Powerade in second place and tap water in last place. I would like to improve the experiment by adding in more variables such as more substances to test and testing at different temperatures to see if the temperature has an effect on the conductivity. I also feel that I would like to get more copper wire to change it after each trial as I think the oxidation of the copper wire caused my later readings to fluctuate and perhaps be inaccurate. I therefore conclude that orange juice proved to be the most conductive and that the oxidation o the copper wires caused some of the later readings to fluctuate but overall I feel that the results were accurate.

Dylan Clayton Mrs. Beckwith Pre-Ap Physical Science 9 7 December 2015 The Importance of Electrons Electrons are the negatively charged subatomic particles that revolve the center, nucleus, of an atom. They are arranged in different energy levels and they orbit around the nucleus like the Earth revolves around the Sun. Electrons are important in atoms, compounds, and chemical bonds involved in chemical reactions. These subatomic particles have importanance to the organization of elements into periods & groups, characteristics of elements in the same periods & groups, and the formation of compounds based on periodic table placement.
Luigi Galvani Thesis Statement today you will know about a realistic scientist that made an impact on the author of Frankenstein. Luigi Galvani was an excellent anatomist, was born to by a middle class family in Bologna, Italy on September 9,1737. His family only had money to send one child to college so Luigi Galvani went. At first Galvani wanted to be a priest but in 1755 he entered the University of Bologna following his father 's footsteps in medicine instead.
3) Write down the detail report for testing the semiconductor circuits by using two different methods. Figure-1 DC Power Supply Circuit Figure-2 Single Stage Amplifier 3.1 Introduction This task was a part of unit 39- Electronic Principles; assignment -1 at Uxbridge College (UK) dated from 29/11/2013 to 20/12/2014 for second year students.
The last person I interviewed asked if energy drinks had a higher voltage compared to water or if they had the same voltage. All liquids have a voltage this is where we get our energy from. The reason energy drinks have a voltage is because of the high amount of caffeine they have in them and the reason water has a voltage is because of the process that water goes through to be cleaned. The water particles rubbing together cause friction giving the water a static electric charge. In order to test which energy drink has the highest voltage to give the most energy I am going to use a zinc nail, copper wire, a volt meter and four different energy drinks and water.

Properties of Substances Express Lab 1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Substances Lab Report Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine which of the following substances: wax, sugar, and salt, are an ionic compound and which are a covalent compound. In order to accurately digest the experiments results, definitions of each relating factor were researched, leading to the following information: ionic compounds are positive and negatively charged ions that experience attraction to each other and pull together in a cluster of ionic bonds; they are the strongest compound, are separated in high temperatures, and can be separated by polar water molecules. A covalent compound is formed when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons; covalent compounds are also categorized into two sections: polar covalent and nonpolar covalent. Furthermore, polar covalent compounds dissolve in water, while nonpolar covalent compounds do not.
