7 Give examples of a conductor and an insulator?

Answer 1

If we speak in terms of electrical conductivity, some good insulators are ceramics, plastics, rubber and glass. Conductors are, on the other hand, metals in general: copper, silver, gold, but there are some good conductors that are not metals, like graphite and some salt solutions.

Answer 2

A conductor is a material that allows the flow of electrical current, such as metals like copper and aluminum. An insulator is a material that does not allow the flow of electrical current, such as rubber and glass. Conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move freely, while insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily.

Answer 3

A conductor example is copper, which allows electricity to flow easily due to its free electrons. An insulator example is rubber, which does not allow electricity to flow easily because it has few free electrons.

Answer 4

An examle of a conductor are any metal and an insulator is wood and even your winter coat! insulator is a open circuit

Earth, human body and metals are conductors of electricity

Ebonite, rubber, porcelain, glass, mica, plastic are good insulators.

Note, that human skin is a fairly good insulator, while under the skin, the human is a pretty good conductor. The best insulator is space.

Answer 5

An insulator would be something that prevents the flow of electrical current. An example would be rubber.

A conductor would be something that allows the flow of current. For example, electrical wire (normally copper or almn)

Answer 6

i'll just give you as many as i can. conductor: copper, gold, iron, steel, brass, bronze, concrete, metal, and coins. insulator: rubber, plastic, glass, dry wood, procelain, cloth, paper, styrofaom, plants, and pure water.

Answer 7

* Insulator (electrical), a substance that resists the flow of electric current * Insulator (genetics), an element in the genetic code * Thermal insulation, a material used to resist the flow of heat * Building insulation, a material used in building construction to prevent heat loss * A Mott insulator, a type of electrical insulator * Electrical conductor, a material allowing the flow of electric current * Electrical conduction, the movement of charged particles through an electrical conductor

Answer 8

Most metals are conductors. Salt water is also a conductor.

Most plastics, rubber, and dry wood are insulators. Dry air is an insulator, but can become ionized.

Answer 9

A copper wire is an electrical conductor. The plastic coating covering the copper wire is an insulator.
