Question

describe the use of conductors and insulators in our daily lives.

Answer 1

1. Conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons.
2. Insulators oppose electrical current and make poor conductors.
3. Some common conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.
4. Some common insulators are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.

Answer 2

Electrical conductors are metals which allow electric current to pass through them from one side to the other when batteries connected across the conductor ends.

Examples are copper, aluminum silver ...

They are used to generate electricity in the power station, to transmit power to homes, to generate light in the filament lamps, to generate heat in heaters or irons.

Insulators are materials which do not allow electric current or charge to pass or flow from one side to the other end when batteries are connected across two ends of the materials.

Examples are plastic , cloth, elastic rubber tyres wood etc.

Insulators are used to protect people from electrical equipment to prevent heat burns or electric shocks.
