What is the difference between good conductors and good insulators?
Conductors are good energy carriers they allow energy to pass through them easily examples are steel,metals and cooper. Insulators do not allow energy (or heat) to pass through them easily such examples are wood oven mitts and cloth. ..... unless the person asking the question was referring to electricity. I dont think wood, oven mitts and cloth would be good examples for electrical insulators, as they are susceptible to collecting moisture, which is an electrical carrier.
What is a material which electricity and heat cannot move easily?
I think you meant to say "... move through easily ?"Those are the materials known as 'insulators'.They include . . .-- pure water-- fiberglass-- wool-- stone-- many plastics-- wood-- air-- most glass-- sand-- newsprint
One material that is used as a conductor and one that is used as an insulator?
A good insulator material is rubber and can block heat and electricity from almost anything. Glass is a good insulator too if you are trying to insulate electricity. Plastic is good as well. Most metals are OK conductors. Copper is very good, and Gold is the best, but it is heavy and expensive.
How does electricity flow from a battery through a circuit?
Not as you might think. Electricity flows FROM the negative pole, through the circuit, and then electrons flow into the positive pole.
What inert gas lights up when electricity passes through it?
I think that would be Neon.
What doesn't allow heat or electricity to flow through it?
wood i think

Isolators.

Can electricity flow through all substances?
I don't think so; rubber doesn't conduct electricity

What does not conduct electricity well?
I think it could be lead
Why does a bulb lights?
I think it does that because that's the sound of electricity running through it
What elements are the best insulators?
Non-metals (e.g. sulphur) are usually good insulators, with the exception of carbon in the form of graphite. On the other hand, metals are good conductors of electricity in all states of matter.
Name three good insulators of electricity?
Electricity is the flow of charged particles (often electrons), hence it flows easily where there are many 'spare' electrons (as in transition metals). An electrical insulator is something that does not have very many of these, for example the group 8 elements have a full outer shell, no electrons are 'free' as this process requires. Plastic insulates electricity.
