ENGLISH FOR TECHNOLOGY - ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PRZYKŁAD

I. Complete the following text with suitable words from the list. Use each word from the list at most once. Write the answers in the table below( 10 x 0.5 = 5 points).

electrons, elements, cold , conduct, conductor, conductors, conductivity, cross-section, flow, flows, insulators, resistance, semiconductors, temperature, warm

Materials made up of different (1) ......................... have different properties. For example, they (2)........................ electric current in a different way. (3)............................... such as copper or aluminium have a great number of free electrons; we say that they offer little (4) ............................. to the current. In (5)...................................., on the other hand, the electrons are not free to move.Unless the difference of potential is dangerously high, there is no current (6) ....................... in them.

(7)............................ are “in-between” materials. Their properties depend on (8) ............................ : unlike metals, they are poor conductors when (9)......................., but better conductors when (10)......................... .
