Conductors
A conductor is a material in which electric charges can move relatively freely.
Mobile Electrons
Metals are good conductors because they contain mobile electrons.
Electrostatic Behaviour
When excess charge is placed on a conductor, it redistributes through the material.
Under electrostatic equilibrium:
electric field inside the conductor is zero; excess charge resides mainly on the surface; * the conductor is at a common electric potential.
Examples
copper; aluminium; silver; metals generally.
Uses
Conductors are used in:
wiring; earthing; lightning protection; electronic circuits.
