Question

Difference between conductors insulators and semiconductors table

Answer 1

conductors are those substances which allow electric current to pass through them. eg: silver
insulators are those substances which do not allow electric current to pass through them. eg: wood
semiconductors are those substances which have an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor and an insulator. eg: silicon

Answer 2

So, the electricity can pass easily through the conductors. ... Semiconductors: Semiconductors are those materials whose electrical conductivity is between conductors and insulators. The forbidden energy gap of a semiconductor is nearly same as insulator.
