Which of the following are characteristics of a good conductor? (Select all that apply.)
a
Poor conductor of electricity
b
Conducts electricity
c
Allows electrons to flow easily
d
Resists the flow of electrons
b and c.
The correct characteristics of a good conductor are:
b. Conducts electricity
c. Allows electrons to flow easily
To determine which of the following are characteristics of a good conductor, we can analyze each statement one by one.
a) Poor conductor of electricity: This statement is not a characteristic of a good conductor. A good conductor of electricity allows the flow of electrons easily.
b) Conducts electricity: This statement is a characteristic of a good conductor. A good conductor allows the flow of electrical charge.
c) Allows electrons to flow easily: This statement is a characteristic of a good conductor. A good conductor allows the movement of electrons without much resistance.
d) Resists the flow of electrons: This statement is not a characteristic of a good conductor. A good conductor minimizes the resistance and facilitates the flow of electrons.
So, the correct choices for characteristics of a good conductor are b) Conducts electricity and c) Allows electrons to flow easily.
