    Conductors in Electrostatic Field, Lecture 13.

    Conductors are materials which have at-least one electron per atom, that are free to move within the material. These are known as free or conduction electrons. There are no explanation in classical mechanics as to why there are free electrons in some materials. But these occurrences are well explained by quantum mechanics. According to quantum…
