Conductors

The flow of electricity is based on the movement of electrons. These particles move from one object to another. Certain materials have the ability to undergo a process called conduction.

This allows electricity to pass through and flow easily. Conduction usually takes place in metals such as copper, zinc, and iron. As a result, these elements are used as electronic parts in appliances and other electronic devices and are known as conductors. Your body can also be a conductor of electricity. Even water can conduct electricity.
