7 Give examples of a conductor and an insulator?

Answer 1

If we speak in terms of electrical conductivity, some good insulators are ceramics, plastics, rubber and glass. Conductors are, on the other hand, metals in general: copper, silver, gold, but there are some good conductors that are not metals, like graphite and some salt solutions.

Answer 2

An examle of a conductor are any metal and an insulator is wood and even your winter coat! insulator is a open circuit

Earth, human body and metals are conductors of electricity

Ebonite, rubber, porcelain, glass, mica, plastic are good insulators.

Note, that human skin is a fairly good insulator, while under the skin, the human is a pretty good conductor. The best insulator is space.

Answer 3

An insulator would be something that prevents the flow of electrical current. An example would be rubber.

A conductor would be something that allows the flow of current. For example, electrical wire (normally copper or almn)

Answer 4

i'll just give you as many as i can. conductor: copper, gold, iron, steel, brass, bronze, concrete, metal, and coins. insulator: rubber, plastic, glass, dry wood, procelain, cloth, paper, styrofaom, plants, and pure water.

Answer 5

* Insulator (electrical), a substance that resists the flow of electric current * Insulator (genetics), an element in the genetic code * Thermal insulation, a material used to resist the flow of heat * Building insulation, a material used in building construction to prevent heat loss * A Mott insulator, a type of electrical insulator * Electrical conductor, a material allowing the flow of electric current * Electrical conduction, the movement of charged particles through an electrical conductor

Answer 6

Most metals are conductors. Salt water is also a conductor.

Most plastics, rubber, and dry wood are insulators. Dry air is an insulator, but can become ionized.

Answer 7

A copper wire is an electrical conductor. The plastic coating covering the copper wire is an insulator.
