Insulators are usually plastics, and conductors are usually metal.
for electricity:
Insulators:
Bowl (plastic), tupperware containers, plastic utensils, formica or granite countertop, plastic microwave or oven handle, spatulas, stone-sinks
Conductors:
egg beaters/whisk, metal knives, metal flippers for burgers, sink faucet, metal bowls, metal utensils (silverware)
for heat:
insulators: plastics, porous items (*sponges), -your entire refrigerator-
conductor: metals, stone countertops, glass (the glass measuring cups come to mind, the ones you put boiling water in)
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!

They are Conductors, not much for insulation though. Differences between conductors and insulators? Conductors let energy such as electricity .
No, the resistance of an insulator is very high.
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
No, insulators and conductors can be found in various states of matter. While many are solids (such as metals being conductors and plastics being insulators), there are also liquid and gaseous substances that can exhibit insulating or conducting properties.
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Semiconductors. They have conductivity between conductors and insulators and are used in electronic devices like transistors and diodes.
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Wired
No, insulators and non conductive.
They are called insulators. Rubber is an example of a good electrical insulator.More:PlasticGlassAirWoodCeramicPorcelainPaperVarnishMineral OilSlateMarblePolyethyleneSiliconePVCKaptonTeflon
Conductors allow the flow of electricity due to the presence of free electrons, while insulators inhibit electron flow. Conductors often have low resistance, while insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity. Materials such as metals are good conductors, while materials such as rubber are good insulators.
insulators
No, insulators are not good conductors of heat. Insulators are materials that do not easily allow heat to pass through them due to their high resistance to thermal conductivity. They are used to prevent the transfer of heat, maintaining a barrier between hot and cold environments.
