Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a metallic conductor?

Metallic conductors are materials that let electric current flow easily because their atoms have free electrons that move freely. Copper is a metal with high electrical conductivity, so a copper pipe will conduct electricity. The other options are insulators—they resist the flow of electricity—so they are not metallic conductors.
