MCQ
Identify the type of materials which develop electric currents in them, when an electric field is applied.
  • A
    Elastomers
  • B
    Conductors
  • C
    Insulators
  • D
    Polymers

Answer

  1. Conductors

Explanation:

When an electric field is applied across the ends of conductors, the electrons begin to move under the action of the electric field. The flow of electrons constitutes electric current through the conductor.
