Asked by kylagonce6096

Answer (1)

Electrical ChargesElectrical charges are properties of particles that cause them to experience a force when near other charged particles. There are two types - positive and negative. Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.InsulatorsMaterials that do not allow electrical charges to flow easily through them. They resist the movement of electrons. Examples - rubber, glass, plastic.ConductorsMaterials that allow electrical charges (electrons) to flow freely through them. They have many free electrons that move easily. Examples - copper, aluminum, silver.SemiconductorsMaterials that have electrical conductivity between insulators and conductors. Their conductivity can be changed by adding impurities or by external conditions like temperature. Examples - silicon, germanium.
