On a appliance cord what is the conductor and insulator?
On the power cord of an electrical appliance, the only conductor you can see is the two (or three) little prongs on the very end of the cord, that get plugged into the wall. Everything else you can see is insulating material. (If it ever becomes possible to see any conductor anywhere else in the cord, then the cord is damaged and dangerous, and must be replaced.)

Can a 125v cord be used with a 120v appliance?
Yes and no. The voltage rating of the cord and appliance are compatible, so that's not an issue. However, the cord must be thick enough to handle the maximum load the appliance will draw (amperage). Thicker cords (lower wire gauge) can handle more current. Running high draw 120V appliances, such as toasters, microwaves, window AC units and especially hair dryers on extension cords or undersized wiring is a serious fire and shock risk. Special heavy duty appliance cords (usually 10 gauge wire and <10' long) are available for 120V applications at most hardware stores. Ideally, the cord would be hard wired into the appliance, and not be excessive in length. The ground pathway, if applicable, should be maintained as well.
