An electrical insulator is a material that resists electric current, and will not allow it to flow easily. Examples include glass and most ceramics.
An electrical conductor is a material that offers very little resistance to electric current, allowing it to flow freely and easily. Most metals make excellent electrical conductors.
conductor
no it is not but sometimes it is!!
A conductor
The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.
If a very large electric field is applied on a conductor then a phenomenon of a dielectric breakdown takes place and it looses all its charge carriers to the nearest conductor. Hence becoming an insulator.
Silver makes it a conductor.

Whether a material is a conductor or an insulator depends on its ability to conduct electric current. An electric conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric charge. In conductors, electrons are loosely bound and can move easily, facilitating the flow of electric current. Common examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum. On the other hand, an insulator is a material that does not allow the flow of electric charge. Insulators have tightly bound electrons, and they do not conduct electricity well. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and most non-metallic materials. In the context of an electric press, it's important to note that the press itself is typically made of metal, which is a conductor. However, the material being pressed could be either a conductor or an insulator depending on its properties. If the material being pressed is an insulator, it won't conduct electricity well, even though the press itself is a conductor.

It is an insulator
