Solution
Conductor:
- A material that has an ample amount of free electrons, which could conduct electricity through it is called a conductor.
- Metals are generally good conductors because they have free electrons.
- They have a sea of electrons.
- Therefore the particles that constitute current in a metallic conductor are “free electrons”.
