Simple Explanation: Think of electricity like a group of people walking through a hallway. In metals, the hallway is wide and empty, people can walk freely. But in non-metals, it's crowded and narrow, people get stuck. That’s why some materials let electricity pass through easily, while others block it.
Examples
- Rubber is like a dam that blocks the flow of water (electricity).
- Aluminum foil conducts electricity well, but paper doesn’t.
