An electric (1) conductor is any material that offers little (2) resistance to the flow of an electric current. The (3) difference between a conductor and insulator is that a poor conductor of (4) electricity or heat is one of degree rather than kind because all (5) substances conduct electricity to some extent. A (6) good conductor of electricity, such as silver, has more (8) conductivity as great as the conductivity of a good (9) insulator such as glass or mica. A phenomenon known as (10) superconductivity is any material that offers little resistance to the flow of an electric current when cooled to (10) almost zero, having nearly infinite conductivity.
