MCQs On Conductor and Conductance

The magnitude of charge flow is determined not only by the size of the driving force (voltage) but also by the relative ease with which electrons or ions are allowed to move through the conductor. Substances which allow electricity to pass through them are called conductors. On the other hand, substances which do not allow the electricity to pass through them are called non-conductors or insulators. Conductors do not get decomposed due to the passage of electric current. As the name suggests, they conduct electricity due to the flow of electrons. Metals and their alloys have very good conductance and therefore are simply known as conductors.
