### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electricity**: - Electricity refers to the flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons. This flow is what we call electric current. 2. **Defining Conductors and Insulators**: - Conductors are materials that allow electricity to pass through them easily (e.g., metals, saltwater). - Insulators are materials that do not allow electricity to flow easily (e.g., rubber, glass). ...
