How do both conductors and insulators help to use electricity?
conductors let electricity through, and insulators don't let it through, so they can help and control the path of the circuit
What are some objects that are both conductors and insulators?
A pencil can be both. It is an insulator if you use the wood side and a conductor if you connected to the metal side.
What is a good example of a non insulator?
There are conductors, semiconductors and insulators. Conductors and semiconductors could be considered noninsulators, so I would say copper but if you want to use semiconductors instead you can say something like doped gallium.
How do use conductors and insulators when building a circuit?
The circuit and its mechanical layout are designed in such a way thatconductors are used between points where current is intended to flowwith as little loss of energy as possible, and insulators are positionedin all locations through which current is not supposed to flow.

Why do you use semiconductor why not conductors and insulators by changing their properties?
We use semiconductors instead of conductors and insulators by changing their properties because the properties of a semiconductor lies between that of a good insulator ant that of a good conductor. Any of the materials obtained depends on the level of doping.
Use the electron theory to explain how insulators and conductors work?
the same way an insulator and a conductor will work with out the electron theory!
Are marshmallows insulators or conductors?
Yes, most certified electricians use candy bars to insulate high voltage power lines. If you look at the wires on high grade medical equipment you will notice they are always insulated with the finest candy bars.

Examples of use of insulators?
Insulators are used to hold conductors in place, separating them from one another to form a barrier between energized parts of an electric circuit and confine the flow of current to wires or other conducting paths.
How good and bad conductors of heat are useful to us?
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
Why use a suspension insulator on 11kv electric power lines?
Suspension insulators are glass 'dish' insulators that are designed to take longitudinal strain -i.e. strain in the direction of the conductors. They are so-called, because they are suspended below the pole's crossarm. Suspension insulators, therefore, are used on terminal poles where the main strain on the crossarm is in the direction of the conductors, or on angle-poles where there is a sharp change in direction of the power line.

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

Is sponge an insulator?
The dead sponges (and the synthetic sponges) we use for cleaning are insulators. Live sponges are conductors because their tissues are saturated with salt water. It is possible to produce many metals in "sponge" form, as these "sponges" are metallic they are conductors. Gold for example is produced in "sponge" form when extracted with Mercury and the mercury is roasted out. This "gold sponge" is then melted and poured in molds to make bulion.
