electrical conductors
Metal transmitting electricity
Electrical conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow through them easily.
Metals like copper and aluminum are excellent conductors, which is why they're used in wiring.
The term also applies to the wires and cables themselves: The electrical conductors in the wall need replacing.
Water containing dissolved salts conducts electricity, making wet conditions hazardous around live current.
