Question

Give the definitions of an electrode. Is it a poor conductor or a good conductor of electricity?

Answer 1

Electrode

1. An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit.
2. Electrodes are an important part of batteries consisting of a variety of materials depending on the type of battery.

Electric conductor

1. An electrical conductor is a substance in which electrical charge carriers, usually electrons, move easily from atom to atom with the application of voltage.

Good and bad conductors of electricity

1. The material through which electricity can pass easily or it conducts electricity is called a good conductor of electricity. Copper, aluminum, silver, mercury, etc., are some of the examples of good conductors.
2. The material through which no electricity can pass is called Insulator or poor conductor. Wood, paper, etc. are examples of a bad conductor
3. The more free electrons present in a metal, the greater its conductivity.
4. Electrodes are good conductors of electricity
