Good conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Some common good conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.
Bad conductors (or insulators) oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common insulators or bad conductors are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.
Conductors have a very low resistance to electrical current while insulators or bad conductors have a very high resistance to electrical current.

Sulfur is a bad conductor of what?
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
Is iron a poor conductor of electricity?
since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
Is iodine a good conductor of heat and electricity?
For a metal, it's not bad.
Why is lead a poor conductor of electricity but a good conductor of heat?
The reason for this is that lead readily reacts with the atmospheric oxygen to forms lead oxide. Lead oxide that has been formed does not have any free electrons. Therefore, it is not able to pass electricity. As, lead exists in the form of lead oxide in which, free electrons are not available.
Why copper rod is covered with insulating material in Searle's apparatus?
Copper rod is covered by insulating materials, because copper is good conductor of electricity when we touch copper rod we get shock and insulators are bad conductor of electricity hence copper rod is covered by insulating materials
Is zinc an good or bad conductor of electricity?
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
Which is bad conductor of electricity but good conductor of heat?
glass, ceramic,diamond, are somtricitytte of the conductor of hear but bad conductor of electricity meher n sethna
Is cermaic a good conductor?
No. Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Are metals a bad conductor of electricity?
No. Metals are good electrical conductors.
Is a pencil an insulator of electricity?
see, the pencil's outer shield is made out of wood which is a bad conductor of electricity but the graphite core is a good conductor. thank you.
What the difference between a good conductor and a bad conductor?
A good conductor will conduct more heat, or more electricity, depending on the context, than a bad conductor. That is, it will transfer more of either in any given time period.
Is a orange a bad or good conductor?
of course,we know how lemons conducts electricity in the same way we can also conduct electricity by orange
Why carbon is a bad conductor of electricity?
No, carbon is a good conductor of electricity. Example, the carbon brushes in electric motors. But you might research the conductivity of Diamond and Graphite.
Why good electrical conductors and insulators complement each other?
The diffrerence between a good condutor and a bad conductor is that a good conductor it go through electricity but a insulator would not attract electricity .This will help to prevent electricuted.
Is chlorine a good or bad conductor of heat and electricity?
I believe chlorine would be a bad conductor of electricity. Not sure about the heat. Usually one would want to stick to using a type of metal and stay away from most liquids when trying to conduct electricity.
What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?
an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics
