Yes , all conductors have some
amount of resistance although it
varies depending on the material
that is conducting the electricity .
Copper has a very low resistance,
and aluminum has a slightly
higher ( but still quite low )
resistance . This is why they are
used as electrical conductors.
Conductor resistance results in
voltage drop over the conductor
and power loss, manifested as
heating of the conductor .
Therefore , you want as low a
conductor loss as is reasonably
practical .
The reason of resistance is that,
no electron has a linear motion
when an electric field is applied to
it . e- move in random due to
apparent collision with other e -' s.
This motion is termed to as
Brownian motion . The random
movement however interrupts
with the electric field and creates
resistance sue to a negetive field
generated .
Current is the flow of electrons through a material. In any material say,metal, the current flow is due to free electrons. There are ions in the metal and they are randomly arranged thus offering opposition to electron flow. It's this opposition that is called resistance.

The relationship between resistance and conductors is?
ALL resistance are conductors. just the magnitude value changes
What is the characteristic of a material that hinders electron flow?
It is called resistance Good conductors have a bad resistance While bad conductors or insulators have good resistance against the flow of electricity
Contains both resistance and inductance?
Wire. conductors. Wire made into a coil, an inductor.
Do conductors have high or low current?
Low resistance. Think of Ohm's law. Voltage drop is directly proportional to resistance. The higher the resistance, the higher the voltage drop, and the less voltage that is available for the load. Think of conductor resistance as a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance means more power lost, going to heating the conductors. The "line loss" formula is P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the electrical power being converted into thermal power heating the conductors.
How does resistivity depends on temperature of conductors?
The resistance of a simple conductor normally rises as its temperature rises.
Does conductors offer very little resistance to flow of electric current?
Yes, conductors offer very little resistance to the flow of electric current due to their ability to easily transfer electrons. This is why materials like copper and gold are commonly used as conductors in electrical circuits.
Do conductors offer very little resistance to the flow of electricity?
Yes- you have suggested a correct working definition for a conductor.
What shows how conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
Superconductors have no resistance, making them the best conductors. Semiconductors have moderate resistance. Conductors have low resistance, making them better conductors than insulators, which have high resistance, making them the poorest conductors.
Why do you call metals as poor conductors?
Metals are called poor conductors in comparison to materials such as copper and silver because they have higher resistivity, which hinders the flow of electrons or electricity through them. Poor conductors like iron and steel are less effective at conducting heat and electricity due to their atomic structure and electron mobility.
Do conductors offer little resistance to the flow of electric current?
Yes- you have suggested a correct working definition for a conductor.
The relationship between resistance and conductors is?

What is conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
Superconductors have no resistance. Conductors have low resistance, semiconductors have intermediate resistance, and insulators have high resistance.
For most conductors as their temperature increases their resistance?
The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.
How much resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have low resistance to the flow of electric current. The resistance of a conductor depends on its material, length, and cross-sectional area. Materials like copper and silver have low resistance, making them good conductors of electricity.
What is materials with low resistance called?
Materials with low resistance are called conductors. Conductors allow electricity to flow easily through them due to their low resistance. Metals such as copper and aluminum are examples of good conductors.
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have resistance due to collisions between free electrons and atoms within the material. This resistance causes energy to be lost in the form of heat when current flows through the conductor. The resistance value depends on the material and dimensions of the conductor.
Good conductors have a high resistance or low?
Good conductors have low resistance. A low resistance allows for the easy flow of electric current through the material. Materials like metals are good conductors because they have many free electrons that can move easily in response to an electric field.
