Question

Give the difference between conductors and insulators

Answer 1

Explanation:

The conductor is defined as the material which allows the electric current or heat to pass through it. The electrons in a conductor freely moved from atom to atom when the potential difference is applied across them. The conductivity of the conductor depends on the number of free electrons in the outermost shell of the orbit. The conductivity of the material is directly proportional to the number of free electrons.

The materials which do not allow the electric current or heat to pass through it such type of material is called an insulator. The covalent bond between the atoms of an insulator is very strong.Thus, the electrons or charges do not move freely. The resistivity of the insulator is very high.

Answer 2

Answer:

The conductor and insulator are the types of material. One of the major difference between the conductor and insulator is that the conductor allows the energy (i.e., current or heat ) to pass through it, whereas the insulator does not allow the energy to pass through it.
