Question

what is diffrence between insulator and conductors​

Answer 1

insulator do not allow heat or electricity to pass through them... ex wood and plastic.

conductors allow heat and electricity to pass through them......ex iron and steel.

Answer 2

It is very simple to differentiate. Let’s review the basic definition of Conductor and insulator for the better understanding.

A conductor is something that allows the current or electricity to pass through it.

For example:
We have Metals, wires, water (Tap water), Human body etc, these things are considered as the conductors because they can easily allow the flow of current through it.

An Insulator is something that doesn't allow the current or electricity to pass through it.

For example:
We have plastics, clothes, rubber, glass, PVC, wood, bricks, paper stones, etc, these things are considered as the insulators because they do not allow the current to pass through it.

As I am an Electrical Engineer, so I can better explain this. When we are performing any electrical test or commissioning test of an electrical power system then we must need to wear a special suit, face shield and highly insulated Rubber shoes to protect ourselves.

In this way, the current will not complete the circuit from the body to the ground, and hence we will be saved.

If you still want to know more about it, please feel free to ask .
