The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Materials which allow larger currents to flow through them are called," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Types of Materials There are different types of materials based on their ability to conduct electricity: - **Insulators**: These materials do not allow electric current to flow through them. Examples include rubber and glass. - **Conductors**: These materials allow electric current to flow easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum. - **Semiconductors**: These materials have conductivity between that of insulators and conductors. They can conduct electricity under certain conditions, such as silicon. - **Commodities**: This term generally refers to raw materials or primary agricultural products that can be bought and sold, and is not specifically related to electrical conductivity. ### Step 2: Identify the Correct Material From the definitions: - Insulators do not conduct electricity. - Conductors allow large currents to flow. - Semiconductors allow limited current flow. - Commodities are not relevant to electrical conductivity. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the definitions and characteristics of these materials, the correct answer is that materials which allow larger currents to flow through them are called **Conductors**. ### Final Answer **Conductors** ---
