Conducting material allows electric current to travel with little resistance throughout. This is related to the structure of the atoms of the conductor. In this section, we will look at what a conductor is, why it is this way, and the applications.
The Main Idea
Conductors are defined a material that allows charged particles to move easily throughout. Charges placed on the surface of a conductor will not simply sit there or only spread over the surface, it will immediately spread evenly throughout the conductor given there are no interfering forces. If the conductor is in an electric field, for example, it will cause the (negative) charges to move in the opposite direction of the field.
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
