The flow of electric current in a conductive material can be compared to the flow of water through a hosepipe. A motive force is required to cause current to flow in a conductor and the motive force is voltage. The higher the voltage the higher the current flow, just like opening the tap further increases the water pressure in the hosepipe causing more water to flow. Some materials make better conductors than others due to their atomic structure and their place in the Periodic Table. At the centre of each atom is a nucleus consisting of particles known as protons and neutrons. Neutrons are...
