Conductors and Insulators. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Insulators keep the electricity from going where it is not wanted while conductors take electricity where it is wanted.

Why is insulators and conductors important?
because it protects you
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Are electrical conductors and insulators equally important for electricity?
Yes. You need both conductors and insulators to work with electricity. Conductors such as wires provide a path for electricity to move where it is needed and insulators prevent electricity from dissipating, from being where it is not supposed to be and where it can cause harm and damage.
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?

Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Which metal acts as an insulator?
Metals are conductors, not insulators. Both electrical and thermal conductors.
Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?
On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
Are Penny's insulators or conductors?
they are Conductors, not much for insulation though.
