Chemical Effects of Electricity
CHEMICAL EFFECTS OF ELECTRICITY · A conductor is any material or substance that allows electricity to flow through it. · An insulator is any substance or material that prevents the flow of electricity through it. · Any substance can be called as a conductor of electricity if it allows movement of charges through it. · The electrons of the conductors can flow freely (they are delocalized) and hence can take electric current through them. · Insulators do not allow the flow of charges through them because their electrons are tightly packed with their particles. · Some materials can allow a little flow of electricity through them and are called poor conductors of electricity. · Some materials can allow the complete flow of electricity through them and are called good conductors of electricity. · Every material may conduct electricity in certain situations. For example, air is a bad conductor of el
