What is the differences between conductors semiconductors and insulators.?

∙ 8y ago
An insulator does not conduct electricity or heat whatsoever. (Eg: Wood) A semi-conductor conducts electricity / heat but with imperfect efficiency. (Eg: Steel) A conductor is simply a term for something that is not an insulator. A super-conductor conducts heat and electricity with almost perfect efficiency.(Eg: Gold)

Substance in between conductors and insulators used in transistors?
Semiconductors
Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
Are scissors conductors?
They are Conductors, not much for insulation though. Differences between conductors and insulators? Conductors let energy such as electricity .
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.
Why semiconductor is called semiconductor not semiinsulator?
The purpose of semiconductors is to control the amount of conduction, not the amount of insulation.
What are the differences between insulators and conductors?
A conuctor conducts electricity e.g.copper whilst an insulator does not allow electricity to go through e.g. plastic
Creepage distance in insulators?
It is the shortest distance between the conductors measured along with the surface of insulators.
How do you know the difference between conductors and insulators?
Yes I do, a thermal insulator keeps in the heat
What are the classification of materials according to electrical conductivity?
Most substances fall into two categories - conductors and insulators. Conductors are those which electricity can pass through relatively easily. Metals are the usual example, but other substances such as graphite and polar liquids such as water are also good conductors. Insulators are poor conductors: those that electricity cannot pass through easily. Most plastics are insulators. Some substances fall in between: these are semiconductors, which allow electricity through in some instances, but not in others. This property makes them very useful in electronics. Some substances can be such good conductors that, under some circumstances, they can allow electricity to pass through them with no resistance at all. These are called superconductors.
Explain the difference between conductors semiconductors and insulators?
Metals are good conductors of electricity. Insulators are bad conductors of electricity. Similarly, semiconductor devices are partial conductors of electricity means their conductivity lies between conductors and insulators.
Are scissors a conductor?
Scissors are Conductors, DUHHHHH
What is the similarities between conductors and insulators?
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.
