An insulator or neither. The water inside of the sponge is what would conduct electricity.

Materials that are neither good conductors nor good insulators?

a material is neither a good conductor nor a perfect insulator because the number of free electrons determine the conductivity of a material.when we charge the material by electrification the transfer of electrons from one body to another takes place.and the atom is ionized because in each atom electrons are attracted by other material and net charge on the body is positive.but this is not permanent nor temporary.as we know that earth is a charged body and charge on conductor can be discharge by earthing a conductor and it is no more conductor.similarly in insulators the aoms locally polarize by bringing close to any charged body and the charge on insulator is temporary because there is deficiency of electrons.if we continously charged the insulator material finally a stage is reached when it becomes conductor e.g when clouds are attracted they charged the air and air becomes conductor and lightening strikes,we also know that air is insulator but due to excess charging air becomes conductor.


Is chalk a good insulator?

chalk is an insulator because heat does not flow through it as easily.

Is air a conductor of heat or insulator?

I think it's neither really. Air doesn't insulate heat very well in fact it lets quite a bit out . so it's not a good insulator if you wanted an insulator you'd use some lagging material or a vacuum flask. Air does conduct heat slowly and inefficiently in no particular direction . but not quickly & in a definite direction like metal does (once it's got up to temperature). basically if you wanted an insulator or a conductor you'd definitely choose some other material entirely for the task , because Air isn't much good at either.


What is the difference between semiconductor and electronics?

A semiconductor is a device which is neither a Insulator nor a conductor. They behave like one in the right conditions.


Is chalk board eraser conductor or insulator?

It would be an insulator- chalk board erasers normally consist of two parts, a wooden handle and a soft pad that wipes off the chalk from the board. Neither of these parts are conductors of electricity.
