Anything that facilitates a flow of anything. Train conductors help the flow of people. Electrical conductors facilitate the flow of electrons across a metal, usually. Heat conductors allow thermal energy flows. There are conductors, wicking agents for fluid flows. There are ventilation schemes that work on thermal convection in the air to circulate warm air and replace it with relatively cool air. My favorites are those who get a bunch of musicians to make lovely sound instead of noise.

Anything and everything are conductors of all forms of radiation. They vary in their ability to conduct. IE rubber will conduct electricity, just not very well at low voltage levels. Ever seen a pair of smoking tennis shoes after their owner has been hit by lightning?

Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons from one end to the other. They are typically metal and usually copper or steal.

Those are the guys in the black suit and cap that stand outside the train and say, "Alllllllllll a board!". And then the train starts moving down the track and a beautiful lady runs along the train, tears in her eyes, a handkerchief waving in her hand, and sorrowful that her lover is leaving. But it's her own damn fault, as far as I'm concerned, because she had all 90 minutes of the movie to say yes.

a ticket taker on a railroad train or any thing that allows the flowing of current or elctrons to pass through we are good condutors as we are water

conductors are carriers

They are metals that can carry electricity, heat or cold. Other substances can also conduct like salt water.

a material that contains enough free electrons so that when a potential difference is applied across it a current will flow.
