Key Info
- Title: What materials conduct electricity?
- Duration: 00:54
- Description: Electricity can be dangerous so we need to know how to use it safely. Insulators protect us from electricity. A test kit, a bit like those used by electricians, is used to test for materials that complete an electrical circuit and are conductors of electricity and those that are insulators. Plastic, rubber and wood are shown to be insulators, whilst metal is a conductor of electricity.
- Subject: Science Topic: Electricity Conductors and Circuits
- Keywords: circuit, conductors, insulators, electricity, metal, wood, plastic, rubber
