Certain solid materials exhibit electrical conductivity that falls between that of conductors and insulators. These materials are called semiconductors. Examples include silicon and germanium.
What is voltage? Voltage, also known as potential difference, refers to the energy difference between two points in a circuit. This energy difference creates a force, called electromotive force (EMF), that pushes electric current through the circuit. In simpler terms, voltage acts like a pump, driving the flow of electrons (current) in a conductor. Higher voltage corresponds to a stronger push, resulting in a faster flow of electrons.
