A capacitor
A capacitor is composed of two conductors separated by an insulator, which stores electric charge between the conductors.

No, a point charge is not composed of conductors separated by an insulator. A point charge is a theoretical concept that represents a single charge concentrated at a single point in space. Conductors and insulators are materials that determine how charges move within a system.
Yes, a capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, also known as a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the plates, it creates an electric field in the dielectric, storing electrical energy in the form of electrostatic potential energy.
'Bundled' conductors describe a line in which two or more conductors are supported from the same insulator chain. In the UK, 275-kV transmission lines typically use two conductors per line, and 400-kV transmission lines typically use four conductors per line. The purpose of bundling conductors is to spread the electric stress on the conductors (e.g. for four conductors, the same amount of electric flux will be 'shared' between the four conductors, rather than concentrated on the surface of one conductor).
It is a pure substance composed of two or more elements that are cemically combined.
No, conductors and insulators are not the same. Conductors allow the flow of electric current, while insulators prevent the flow of electric current. Conductors typically have loosely held electrons that can move freely, whereas insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily.
A basic capacitor is made up of two conductors separated by an insulator, or dielectric. The dielectric can be made of paper, plastic, mica, ceramic, glass, a vacuum or nearly any other nonconductive material. Some capacitors are called electrolytics, meaning that their dielectric is made up of a thin layer of oxide formed on a aluminum or tantalum foil conductor.
The leakage current in underground transmission line are any two conductors separated by an insulating medium. It constitutes a condenser and a capacitor.
Metals are good conductors of electricity, two of the best conductors are silver and copper.
High-voltage transmission line conductors are 'bundled' -that is, each 'line' comprises two or more conductors, rather than a single conductor, suspended from each insulator chain. The reason for bundling is to reduce the intensity of the electric field on the surface of the conductors (the same field is shared between the surfaces of several, rather than just one, conductors), which would otherwise result in a breakdown of the insulating property of the air immediately surrounding a single conductor. In the UK, 400-kV transmission lines use a bundle of four conductors per line, and 275-kV transmission lines use a bundle of two.
A mixture is composed of two or more substances that are mixed together but can be separated through physical means, such as filtration or distillation. Mixtures do not involve chemical bonding between the substances present.
