Which of these types of materials readily allows the flow of electric current?
- AInsulator
- BSemiconductor
- CDielectric
- DConductor
Correct answer: D — Conductor. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A conductor is a material, such as copper or silver, that lets electric current flow through it easily because its atoms hold their outer electrons loosely, allowing them to move freely. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
