conductive
Lets current through
Conductive describes materials or substances that allow energy to pass through them—typically electricity or heat.
Copper is highly conductive, making it ideal for wiring.
The conductive properties of the metal made it perfect for the circuit.
The opposite is insulating or non-conductive.
