katherine · Answer

you're all I got buddy.

Ultrilliam · Answer

Think of electricity like a very thin stream of electrons.
Metal has looser electrons in much more quantity then something like glass or ceramic which is packed tightly together.
Electricity will flow through something that has much more area to flow through

Does that make sense?
