What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?
Asked by enterprise_teacher1 | 29 May, 2019, 03:53: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

 

Conductors

Insulators

They allow electricity to pass through them.

They do not allow electricity to pass through them.

They have electric charges free to move.

They have electric charges which are not free to move.

When some charge is transferred to a conductor, it readily distributes over the entire surface.

When some charge is transferred to an insulator, it remains at the same place over the surface.

Most metals are conductors.

Most non-metals are insulators.
