What makes electric charge to flow?
When we bring a positively charged body towards a negatively charged body the negatively charged particles in the negatively charged body move towards the positively charged particles in the other body i.e an electric charge moves when we bring two bodies of differently charged bodies or the same charges(they repel each other in this case)
What is the difference between bundled conductors and composite conductors?
Bundled conductors are used to reduce the effect of corona. As in place of a single conductor. two conductors are used in parallel the voltage gradient build up is less and thus the ionisation of the surrounding air is decreased. Therefore the effect of corona is reduced.
What is a overcurrent device?
a device protecting conductors or other equipment in a circuit from an overload/overcurrent situation
What is the basic difference between conductors and insulators?
The difference between a conductor and a insulator is that a conductor tries to keep the warmness away and the insulator tries to keep the warmness in. An insulator is like an refrigerator, and mabey a cooler so when you go hiking it keeps the coolness inside or keeps the warmness inside!!:-)<3
Do conductors have high or low current?
Low resistance. Think of Ohm's law. Voltage drop is directly proportional to resistance. The higher the resistance, the higher the voltage drop, and the less voltage that is available for the load. Think of conductor resistance as a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance means more power lost, going to heating the conductors. The "line loss" formula is P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the electrical power being converted into thermal power heating the conductors.
Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Materials that can be statically charged can be either conductors or insulators. Conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily, which can lead to static charging under certain conditions. Insulators, on the other hand, do not conduct electricity well and can also become statically charged due to the buildup of excess charge.
What are the differences between charged conductors and insulators?
Insulators block the flow of electricity, and therfore cannot be charged. That is completely wrong. An insulator can be charged. The difference is that the charge carriers in an insulator will be still, and will not respond to each other's fields. This is not true for a conductor, where the coulomb forces between charges will force all charge to the surface of the conductor, as a result of Gauss' law.
How gold leaf electroscope to identify conductors and insulators?
In a gold leaf electroscope, when a charged object is brought close to the electroscope, the gold leaves will either diverge (for conductors) or remain closed (for insulators). Conductors allow charge to flow easily, causing the leaves to repel each other due to the like charges. Insulators do not allow charge to flow, so the leaves do not diverge as there is no movement of charge.
Materials that you can charge up by rubbing are they conductors or insulators?
Materials that can be charged up by rubbing (like wool or plastic) are typically insulators. Insulators do not allow electricity to flow easily, so when they build up a charge through static electricity, it stays localized on the object. Conductors, on the other hand, allow electricity to flow freely through them.
Contrast insulators and conductors?
Insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of electricity easily, while conductors are materials that allow electricity to flow easily. Insulators have high resistivity, preventing the movement of electrons, while conductors have low resistivity, allowing electrons to move freely. Examples of insulators include rubber and plastic, while examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
Why are switches and electric sockets are made by using conductors?
They are made using both conductors and insulators: conductors where you do want the electricity to be able to flow and insulators where you want to prevent the electricity from flowing.If they were made using just one or the other, they could not perform their intended functions.
Why conductors conduct heat and electricity while insulators are known as poor conductors?
Conductors conduct heat and electricity well because they have delocalised electrons in their structure. Insulators, on the other hand, do not have delocalised electrons and therefore do not conduct heat and electricity as a conductor, although they do conduct to some extent.
How do insulators work and conductors?
Insulators prevent the flow of electricity by having tightly bound outer electrons that do not move easily. Conductors, on the other hand, allow electricity to flow through them easily as they have loosely bound outer electrons that are free to move. This difference in electron mobility is what makes insulators unable to conduct electricity and conductors effective at it.
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.

Describe the difference between insulator and conductor?
Insulators are materials that do not easily allow the flow of electricity, making them poor conductors. Conductors, on the other hand, are materials that allow the flow of electricity with little resistance. Insulators are used to prevent the flow of electricity, while conductors are used to facilitate the flow of electricity.
Are there materials in both insulators and conductors?
Yes, both insulators and conductors can be made from various materials. Insulators are typically made from materials like rubber, glass, and plastic, which have high resistivity and impede the flow of electricity. Conductors, on the other hand, are typically made from materials like copper, aluminum, and gold, which have low resistivity and allow electricity to flow easily.
How does a radio use conductors and insulators?
A radio uses conductors to carry electrical signals from the source to different components within the device, such as the antenna, speakers, and tuner. Insulators are used to prevent electrical components from coming into contact with each other and causing short circuits. Overall, conductors and insulators help maintain the proper flow of electricity within a radio to ensure its proper functioning.
