For the purpose of electronics and electrical engineering, materials are classified according to their electrical resistance, which describes how readily they allow electric current to pass when a voltage is applied. A conductor is a piece of metal used to conduct electricity. Apart from conductors, materials are classed as insulators (very poor conductors), semi-conductors (materials whose ability to conduct electricity can be controlled), and superconductors which (below a critical temperaure, usually cryogenic) offer no significant electrical resistance, allowing circular currents, once established, to flow indefinitely.
This 3-hr course provides general requirements, classifications and application information for electrical conductors. The course is based entirely on Naval Education and Training Materials (NAVEDTRA 14176), Electricity and Electronic Training Series; Module-4 and covers Chapter 1 titled “Electrical Conductors”.
The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
