Electricity/Electricity and matter

Electricity conductor

Electricity conductor refers to matter that conducts electricity . Depend on the capability to conduct electricity, matters are divided into 3 types

• Conductor . Material that conducts electricity easily include all Metal like Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe)...
• Semi-conductor . Material that conducts electricity somewhere between conductor and non-conductor include all Semi-metal like Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge)...
• Non-conductor . Material that does not conduct electricity at all . For example Rubber

Application

All conductors are used to make passive electric components like

• Resistor
• Capacitor
• Inductor

All semi-conductors are used to make active electric components like

• Diode
• Transistor
• FET
