с английским! Conductors.

1.Text.

According to their conductivity all materials are divided into conductors,

insulators and semiconductors. Conductors allow electricity to pass through

them; insulators do not.

Conductors are materials having a very high conductivity. A conductor owes its

conducting powers to the presence of free electrons which have broken away

from their atoms. The most common of them are metals (copper, aluminium,

steel, and others), carbon and electrolytes. Their coefficient of resistance is

different. Copper, for example, has a positive coefficient while carbon has a

negative coefficient of resistance.

According to their resistivity, conductors are divided into two groups; the first

includes materials with low resistivity; copper, aluminium and others. These

metals are used to produce wire conductors due to their high mechanical

strength. The second group includes materials with high resistivity: one of these is

nichrome. Due to its good heat resistance, nichrome is used to produce heaters.

Carbon is commonly used to produce electrodes and brushes for electric

machines.
