bird is conductor or insulator ?

Insulators often contain pockets of trapped air like feathers on a bird and fur on animals to keep them warm.
 
The birds think that their feather are the good insulators, even the Penguins! 

Down is a very good insulator, for it entraps lots of air compared to its own weight. 

With any thermal insulator, what we are buying is still air, because for practical purposes, air is the best insulator.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 100c * m ^ 2 and a plate separation of 2.0 cm. has been charged up to 3000 V by a battery. Now, (i) after disconnecting the battery, (ii) keeping the battery connected, the distance between the plates is increased to 5.0 cm intensity of electric field between the plates and the energy of the capacitor. ( epsilon_{0} = 8.85 * 10 ^ - 12 * F * m ^ - 1
