CONDUCTORS PROPERTIES
CONDUCTOR & ITS PROPERTIES A conductor of electricity is a material or substance which allows to flow of electric current when subjected to a potential difference . While selecting a material for specific application in electric field, its properties are to be considered. A material can be called as Good Conductor ,If it has the following properties. 1. Electrical Properties 2. Mechanical Properties 3. Thermal Properties Let us discuss in detail. ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES Good Conductivity Low electrical energy dissipated in the form of heat Low resistivity Low temperature Resistance Rat io MECHANICAL PROPERTIES 1. Ductility It is the property of material to allow it to draw into wires. 2. Solderability It is the property to join wire to a particular contact. Withstand Stress & Strain. Easy to fabricate ...
