Compare conductor and insulator

Answer 1

Conductors and insulators are different and simalar in many ways.Two ways they are simallar are they both have electrons and have something to do with electricity.Three ways they are different that conductors let heat and electricity go through it .On the other hand insulators do not let heat or electreicity go through it easily.Another way is conductors transfer eelectrons easily but meanwhile the insulator psses on electrons with difficulty.One last thing is that conductors are not current but insulators are current.

Answer 2

Conductors allow the flow of electric charge easily due to the presence of free electrons, while insulators do not allow the flow of electric charge easily as they have few or no free electrons. Conductors have high electrical conductivity, while insulators have high electrical resistance. Examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum, whereas examples of insulators include plastic and rubber.

Answer 3

The main difference between a conductor and an insulator is whether or not the material can conduct electricity. A conductor can and an insulator can not. An insulator blocks the flow of electricity because the outer electrons of their atoms are tightly bound and there is no space for the electricity to move. A loose rule is that most metals are conductors while most non-metals are insulators.

Answer 4

Conductors are those materials which can easily transmit electricity.And its property is called conductivity. An insulator has rarely any conductivity. It has high resistance to electrical conduction.

Answer 5

Everything known to man has a resistance to the flow of electrons or the flow of electricity. In electrical or electronic terms we call this simply resistance. Somethings have a high level of resistance, these are called insulators, some have a very low level of resistance these are called conductors. Most metals are good conductors of electricity while most rubbers and plastics are good insulators. The basic theme is conductors permit electrical flow while insulator inhibit it. It is all about the availability of free electrons so if you need more details, search about atomic structure and free electrons and electricity / current flow.

Answer 6

Loosely, conductors are materials that you expect to offer low resistance to the passage of charged carriers (like electrons), while insulators are materials that you expect to offer large (or ginormous!) resistance to the passage of current.

These materials can be affected by the situation so that they do not perform as expected, but one tries to avoid putting the equipment in an environment that leads to same.

Add-on to first paragraph--conductors are expected to allow large current flow and change-of-flow even with low voltage applied; while insulators are expected to allow as close as possible to zero current even with large applied voltage.

Answer 7

A conductor is a material that allows the easy flow of an electrical current. An insulator, meanwhile is a material that blocks the flow of an electrical current.

Answer 8

Conductors let electricity OR/AND heat go through it easily, but in Insulators it is more difficult for electricity OR/AND heat. Hope this helped. YOU BETTER LIKE IT YOU Bit**h
