Question

State the main difference between a conductor and an insulator.​

Answer 1

INSULATORS

✳ Insulators are materials that do not allow heat , electricity, etc to flow through them easily.

✳ Insulators do not allow heat and electricity to flow through them because they do not have free electrons to conduct heat and electricity through them.

✳ Rubber , wood , plastic etc are examples of insulators.

CONDUCTORS

✳Conductors are substances that allows heat and electricity to flow through them easily .

✳ Conductors allow heat and electricity to flow through them because they have free electrons to conduct heat and electricity through them.

✳ Metals , like silver steel , copper , aluminum etc  are examples of Conductors.
