CONDUCTOR: those objects which can pass electricity through them is known as conductors. the conductors can pass electricity through them due to free electrons present in them. for example: iron, copper, aluminium etc.

INSULATOR: those objects which can not pass electricity through them is called insulator. the insulators can't pass electricity due to less or absence of free electrons. for example paper, wood, rubber etc

Can there be a potential difference between two conductors that carry like charges of the same magnitude?

Yes, there can be a potential difference between two conductors that carry like charges of the same magnitude. This can occur if the conductors are at different potentials due to external influences or if the conductors are part of a circuit where there is a potential difference applied.


What is the difference between resistance and insulation?

Resistor is a current a insulator is a not conductive and conductors can conduct.


What is the difference between metals and nonmetals in regards to how they conduct electricity?

Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.


What is the difference between insulated wire and ordinary cable?

Insulated wires and cables are commonly used conductors in power engineering


What is the function of wires in transmission line?

Each of the three conductors of an electricity transmission system are termed 'line conductors', and there is a potential difference between each pair, called a 'line voltage'. The conductors themselves carry load currents called 'line currents'.


What is the difference between TS and TRS connectors?

The main difference between TS and TRS connectors is that TS connectors have two conductors (tip and sleeve) and are typically used for mono audio signals, while TRS connectors have three conductors (tip, ring, and sleeve) and are used for stereo audio signals or balanced audio connections.


Are scissors conductors?

What is the difference between type ac and type act armored cables?

The difference is the type of insulation on the conductors. Type AC used a thermoset insulation , Type ACT is a theromplactic insulation.


What is the difference between type ac and type act armored cable?

The difference is the type of insulation on the conductors. Type AC used a thermoset insulation , Type ACT is a theromplactic insulation.


What is the difference between bundled conductors and composite conductors?

Bundled conductors are used to reduce the effect of corona. As in place of a single conductor. two conductors are used in parallel the voltage gradient build up is less and thus the ionisation of the surrounding air is decreased. Therefore the effect of corona is reduced.


What are the differences between TS and TRS connectors?

The main difference between TS and TRS connectors is the number of conductors they have. TS connectors have two conductors, while TRS connectors have three conductors. TS connectors are commonly used for mono audio signals, while TRS connectors are used for stereo audio signals or for carrying both audio and microphone signals.


Why the spacing between the conductors of same phase is greater as compared to spacing between different phase conductors in double circuit lines?

I think you mean spacing between line conductors, rather than phase conductors. If there is a greater spacing between line conductors in one circuit, compared with anothercircuit, then the two circuits are operating at different voltages.
