Depends on what they're made of, not what they are.
Anything made of a conducting material is a conductor, whatever it is.
Anything made of an insulating material is an insulator, whatever it is.
Material properties - conducting or insulating - is more important than shape.
Scissors are generally - but not always - made of metal.
And metals are usually conductors, making the scissors conductors.
But a scissor might have plastic handles. Plastic is usually an insulator, which would make the handles insulators.
What else can I help you with?
Creepage distance in insulators?
It is the shortest distance between the conductors measured along with the surface of insulators.
How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.
Materials that are sometimes classified as insulators and sometimes as conductors are called?
semiconductors
Why do engineers need to know about conductors and insulators?
To avoid or to attract the electricity
Examples of insulators and conductors?
Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold
Are scissors conductors?
They are Conductors, not much for insulation though. Differences between conductors and insulators? Conductors let energy such as electricity .
Are scissors a conductor?
Scissors are Conductors, DUHHHHH
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?
b
Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are Penny's insulators or conductors?
they are Conductors, not much for insulation though.
Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
What you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
What is poor conductors called?
insulators
How are materials classified on the basis of resistivity?
Materials can be classified based on their resistivity as conductors, semiconductors, or insulators. Conductors have low resistivity, allowing electric current to flow easily. Semiconductors have resistivity in between conductors and insulators, and their conductivity can be controlled. Insulators have high resistivity and do not allow electric current to flow easily.
What do you call poor conductors?
Poor conductors of electricity are often referred to as insulators. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to their molecular structure, which makes them unable to conduct electricity efficiently. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
