Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

 

We define here conductor, semiconductor, and insulator as

The conductor is a type of material that allows the flowing of electric current through them and the property of conduction is known as conductivity. this type of material allows the electrons to flow freely from particle to particle and When a voltage is connected to the material the charged particles move from one atom to another.
