What is the definition of insalator of science?

There is no such word as 'insalator'. -Even if I assume you may mean 'insulator', there is also no record of the phrase "insulator of science" - - An insulator is a device or material to prevent electrical current flowing.


What is another name for conductor?

Leader - guide - director - guard. For the physics definition of conductor, another name would be electric charger.


What is the definition of a conductor of heat?

The metal "copper" is a called a conductor (of electricity) but also a person who "conducts an orchestra and/or a choir" or "someone who manages a bus or a train" are also called conductors.More detailsThis question is a very general one and there are several different answers which are all valid. For example, the metal 'copper' is a conductor; a person who directs an orchestra is called is a conductor; a conductor is someone who works aboard a bus or train!The physics meaning of a conductor is a substance, body, or device that readily conducts heat, electricity, sound, etc.E.g. copper is a very good conductor of electricity and heat.An electrical conductor is a substance that permits electrons to flow through it easily. Most metals are good conductors. In contrast, insulators are strongly resistant to any flow of electrons. Semiconductors can be controlled in their conductivity, and are thus very useful in electronics.A thermal conductor is a substance that permits the flow of heat. Interestingly, most electrical conductors are also good thermal conductors, since the electrons can also distribute the heat rapidly. However, there are also some good thermal conductors (such as diamond) that are good electrical insulators.A conductor of light is a substance that permits the flow of light. Interestingly, most conductors of light are not good conductors of electricity - they are insulators - but may or may not also be good thermal insulators. For instance diamond is a good conductor of light, is a conductor of heat but is still a good electrical insulator.A conductor is something that allows electricity, heat or light to flow through it.Most metals are conductors of heat and electricity. Some of the best conductors are gold and silver, copper, aluminum, iron and nickel.For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.A conductor can actually have a couple different meanings. It can be someone that takes fares. It can be the director of a orchestra or even an object that conducts electricity.A conductor is a substance that has attractive properties. Two examples are electrical and thermal conductors. An electrical conductor holds electricity effectively, and a thermal conductor holds heat effectively.I think conducted mean when you conduct something

Can a semiconductor be made to become a conductor or an insulator?

Yes, a semiconductor can be made to behave as a conductor or an insulator by controlling the amount of impurities added to it. Adding impurities through a process called doping can change the conductivity of the semiconductor material, making it act like a conductor or an insulator.
