Study Notes

Conductivity

  • The ability of a substance to allow heat or electricity to flow through it.
  • Examples of good conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
  • Examples of poor conductors include wood, plastic, and rubber.

Magnetism

  • Attraction or repulsion between magnetic objects.
  • Magnets have two poles - north and south.
  • Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.

Ductile

  • The ability of a material to be stretched into a wire.
  • This property is essential for creating wires for electrical circuits.
  • Examples of ductile materials include copper, silver, and gold.
