Connect your material to the gap of the open circuit and see if the load(e.g bulb) works, if it does then the material is a conductor and if it doesn't then it's an insulator
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
It will depend on the specific book and what materials have been used to create it. In most cases, a standard bound book of paper and standard cover will be an Insulator. With specific inks or metallic materials it could be a conductor.
it makes a good conductor because it is steel, but not so great as an insulator. this is simply because there is space between the fibers on the outside, and that something could come in contact with the steel wire.
A key would be a conductor. ------------------------------------------------------ That would depend on what the key was made of. Keys made out of metals would be conductors, while contactless plastic car keys would be insulators.
Could you build a working electric circuit using glass rods as the conductors? Why or why not?
No, no, of course not!
Whether a material is a conductor or an insulator depends on its ability to conduct electric current. An electric conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric charge. In conductors, electrons are loosely bound and can move easily, facilitating the flow of electric current. Common examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum. On the other hand, an insulator is a material that does not allow the flow of electric charge. Insulators have tightly bound electrons, and they do not conduct electricity well. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and most non-metallic materials. In the context of an electric press, it's important to note that the press itself is typically made of metal, which is a conductor. However, the material being pressed could be either a conductor or an insulator depending on its properties. If the material being pressed is an insulator, it won't conduct electricity well, even though the press itself is a conductor.
A battery is a combination of conductors and insulators.
Flame is composed of very hot gas; as such it would not be used either as an insulator or as a conductor, but one could make an argument that it is a conductor, since it does conduct heat and since it does contain some ionized gas, it can conduct electricity.

At low voltages (<100V) paper is an insulator. At HT potentials (>1000V) the paper will break down as an insulator and start to conduct.

The material is an insulator. Without an insulator the electricity could travel out of the wire through some kind of cunductor, or it could cause electrocution if someone came into contact with it.
Static electricity causes electrons to move from one material to the other. In an insulator, these electrons can't flow back to equalise the charges, whereas in a conductor they can; so whilst they could conceivably generate static electricity, it would be lost as quickly as it was made.
