Question

Difference between conductors and insulator.

Answer 1

Here is your answer..


The Materials through which electricity can pass easily are known as conductors. Conductors transfer heat easily. Example of conductors are metals and water.


The materials through which do not allow electricity to pass through are known as insulators.
Insulators transfer heat slowly or not at all. Examples are wood, styrofoam, plastics, newspapers and features. Insulators are used to keep hot things cold and cold things hot. Almost all insulators have air incorporated into them to make them more effective.

Answer 2

$\textbf{\large{Answer -}}$

$\textbf{\underline{Conductor :}}$

》Material which permits the electric current or heat to pass through it is known as conductor.

》The potential energy remains same at all point of the conductor.

》Conductors have low resistance.

》Conductors are used for making electrical wires.

》Examples are Irons, aluminum, silver, copper, etc.

$\textbf{\underline{Insulator :}}$

》Materials which restrict the electric current or heat to pass through it is known as insulator.

》The potential energy remains zero in insulator.

》Insulators have high resistance.

》It is used for insulating electrical cable or conductors.

》Examples are rubber, wood, Paper, etc.
