What are the differences between charged conductors and insulators?

Insulators block the flow of electricity, and therfore cannot be charged.
That is completely wrong. An insulator can be charged. The difference is that the charge carriers in an insulator will be still, and will not respond to each other's fields. This is not true for a conductor, where the coulomb forces between charges will force all charge to the surface of the conductor, as a result of Gauss' law.

Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Either one can acquire a static charge.
Does an alloy have any electric charge?
Anything can be charged conductors insulators, metals, plastic, compounds alloys, anything. just apply voltage.
What are the differences between proton and electron?
proton is positivley charged and id inside the nucleus of an atom, while a electron is negativley charged and orbits the nucleus.
A balloon becomes negatively charged when rubbed against someone's sleevehow does it becomes charged?
Friction from rubbing the balloon on a sleeve creates static electricy,therefore the balloon becomes negatively charged.
What is the interaction between charged objects?
The interaction between charged objects is called electromagnetism.
How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.

Why we called it three phase?
Because there are three positive charged conductors and there is electrical pressure in between.
What are the differences between charged tRNA and uncharged tRNA?
Charged tRNA has an amino acid attached to it, ready for protein synthesis, while uncharged tRNA does not have an amino acid attached. Charged tRNA binds to the appropriate codon on the mRNA during translation, while uncharged tRNA cannot participate in translation.
What are insulaters and conducters?
Conductors is a thing where an electricity can flow freely while the Insulators is a thing where electricity is not allowed to flow freely.
What kind of materials become electrically charged when they are rubbed together?
Insulators
Which materials tend to become positively charged?
Conductors
What are the differences between proton and electron?
proton is positivley charged and id inside the nucleus of an atom, while a electron is negativley charged and orbits the nucleus.
Negativley charged particles move easily through what materials?
conductors
Compare conductor and insulator?
Conductors and insulators are different and simalar in many ways.Two ways they are simallar are they both have electrons and have something to do with electricity.Three ways they are different that conductors let heat and electricity go through it .On the other hand insulators do not let heat or electreicity go through it easily.Another way is conductors transfer eelectrons easily but meanwhile the insulator psses on electrons with difficulty.One last thing is that conductors are not current but insulators are current.
