Question

distinguish between insulators and conductors

Answer 1

An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely; very little electric current will flow through it under the influence of an electric field. This contrasts with other materials, semiconductors and conductors, which conduct electric current more easily. The property that distinguishes an insulator is its resistivity; insulators have higher resistivity than semiconductors or conductors.



In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of an electrical current in one or more directions. Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors.

Hey Mate, Here Is Your Answer==============================

A conductor is a material that allows easy easy flow electricity through it, forexample Aluminium & copper while

An insulator is a material which does not allow easy flow of electricity through it for example dry wood and air.
