b. 0.98m V to µV.
c. 270 µS +0.13 mS in µS and mS.
2. A certain material has four electrons in the valance shell and a second material has one. Which one
is better Conductor, Justify your answer?
3. Answer the followings
a. What makes a material a good conductor? (in your answer consider valance shell and free
electrons)
b. Besides being a good conductor, list two other reasons why copper is so widely used.
c. What makes a material good Insulator?
d. Normally air is an Insulator. However during lighting discharges, conduction occurs.
Briefly discuss the mechanism of charge flow in this discharge.
4. How do you charge a secondary battery? Make a sketch. Can you charge a primary Battery?
