In summary, conductors allow electricity to flow easily while insulators do not, conductors can withstand stress and strain better due to their free electrons while insulators cannot, stress and strain can increase conductivity in conductors, variables like temperature and impurities can affect conductivity, and conductivity is measured using a conductivity meter in units of siemens per meter.

We here at Physics Forums are not your servants. We will help you if you don't fully understand something, but you must first show some initiative in finding a solution.

Related to Explaining Conductors, Stress-Strain, Insulators & Variables

1. What is the difference between conductors and insulators?

Conductors are materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily, while insulators are materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them easily.

2. How do conductors and insulators handle stress and strain differently?

Conductors are able to withstand stress and strain better than insulators, as they have more free electrons that can move and carry the electrical current. Insulators have fewer free electrons and therefore cannot handle stress and strain as well.

3. What is the relationship between stress, strain, and conductivity?

The relationship between stress, strain, and conductivity is that as stress and strain increase, the conductivity of a material also increases. This is because stress and strain cause the free electrons in conductors to move more easily, allowing for better conductivity.

4. How do variables affect the conductivity of materials?

Variables such as temperature, pressure, and impurities can affect the conductivity of materials. For example, an increase in temperature can cause an increase in the movement of free electrons, leading to higher conductivity. On the other hand, impurities can disrupt the flow of electrons and decrease conductivity.

5. How is conductivity measured?

Conductivity is typically measured using a device called a conductivity meter, which measures the flow of electrical current through a material. The unit of measurement for conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m).
