As regards electrical conductors, these materials have free electrons that will support electric current flow. In general, all metals will conduct electricity, though some do it better than others. We know that silver, copper, gold and aluminum top the list of metals that have high electrical conductivity.

Insulators don't have free electrons to support electric current flow. These materials include rubber, dry wood and dry paper, many plastics, glass, ceramics and many other materials.Boobaa

What items are insulators and conductor?

Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow easily through it. Metals are the best examples of conductors. Insulators to the opposite; they don't like letting their electrons flow. Glass, rubber, and wood are some examples of insulators.


Are aliminium and plastic examples of insulators?

Aluminium is a conductor. Plastic,wood,rubber,cotton,PVC,glass are some examples for non conductors.


What are the examples of insulator and conductor?

The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals. Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.


Are leather wood and water a examples of insulators?

Yes, leather and wood are examples of insulators because they do not conduct electricity well. Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it is not considered a good insulator due to its ability to conduct some electricity.


Examples of insulators and conductors?

Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold


What is a substance that is not a conductor?

A substance that is not a conductor of electricity is called an insulator. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electrical current, preventing the movement of electrons through the material. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
