CONDUCTOR In some materials, the outer electrons of each atom or molecule are only weakly bound to it. These electrons are almost free to move throughout the body of the material and are called free electrons. They are also known as conduction electrons. When such a material is placed in an electric field, the free electrons drift in a direction opposite to the field. Such materials are called conductors. 3 . INSULATOR Another class o
