Question

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?​

Answer 1

Answer:

conductor is a substance which allow the electricity pass through it

and insulator is a substance which does not allow the electricity to pass through it

Answer 2

Answer:

${\tt{\blue{\bold{\huge{☆Answer☆}}}}}$

Explanation:

What are conductors?

A materials or an object that conducts heat,electricity,light or sound is called conductors.Metal wires are good conductors of electricity and offer less resistance to the flow of current.Why metals conduct electricity?…Metals like silver and copper have excess of free electrons which are not held strongly with any particular atom of metals.These free electrons move randomly in all directions inside metals.When we apply external field these electrons can easily move in a specific direction.

This movement of free electrons in a particular direction under the influence of an external field causes the flow of current in metal wires.

Examples of conductors

》Copper

》Aluminium

》iron

These are some examples of conductors.

What are insulators?

A material that does not easily transmit energy,such as electric current or heat is called insulators.why insulators not conduct electricity?..All materials contain electrons.The electrons in insulators,like rubber,however,are not free to move.They are tightly bound inside atoms.Hence,current cannot flow through an insulator because they are no free electrons for the flow of current.Insulators have very large value of resistance.

Examples of insulators

》Glass,

》wood

》plastic

》fur

》silk
