What parts of the torch are the insulator and the conductor?

The handle of the torch is typically the insulator, as it is made of non-conductive materials like plastic or rubber to prevent electric shocks. The filament or bulb inside the torch serves as the conductor, allowing electricity to pass through and produce light.

Wind is neither a conductor nor an insulator. It is simply moving air. Wind does not have the ability to conduct or insulate electricity like materials such as metals or rubber.


Is a radio a conductor or insulator?

A radio can be considered an insulator because it is made of materials that do not easily conduct electricity. The outer casing of the radio is typically made of plastic or non-metallic materials that do not allow electricity to flow easily.
