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.

Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors. Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.

What are the examples of insulator and conductor?
The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals. Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.

Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
Are humans conductors or 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 .
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
Creepage distance in insulators?
It is the shortest distance between the conductors measured along with the surface of insulators.
Substance in between conductors and insulators used in transistors?

What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?

Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Which metal acts as an insulator?
Metals are conductors, not insulators. Both electrical and thermal conductors.
