CONDUCTORS

Image
Conductors are materials with electrons are loosely bound to their atoms or materials that permit free motion of a large number of electrons. Atoms with only one valance electron such as copper, silver, gold are examples of good conductors. Most of the metals are good conductors Properties of electrical conductors             In equilibrium condition the conductors exhibit the following properties a)       Resistance Conductors are those substances which offer such a small resistance b)       Inductance When a conductor is used as ac supply a magnetic flux is produced, which consist of two parts. One is internal flux and other is external flux. The internal flux is very low as compare to external flux. Due to this flux linkage to the conductor itself an inductance is come into picture. This inductance results in extra voltage drop in conductors. More over this induct...
