Conductors are insulated to prevent the escape of energy from within them. Without insulators, the conductors will usually release energy into the surrounding substance, unless that substance acts as an insulator. This answer is the result of recollection of a KS3 (high school) science class, and, although quite vague, it is a good outline. It will be useful to search "conductors and insulators" in a search engine, as there will be much more information provided.
What else can I help you with?
For most conductors as their temperature increases their resistance?
The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.
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.

What are bundled conductors?
High-voltage transmission line conductors are 'bundled' -that is, each 'line' comprises two or more conductors, rather than a single conductor, suspended from each insulator chain. The reason for bundling is to reduce the intensity of the electric field on the surface of the conductors (the same field is shared between the surfaces of several, rather than just one, conductors), which would otherwise result in a breakdown of the insulating property of the air immediately surrounding a single conductor. In the UK, 400-kV transmission lines use a bundle of four conductors per line, and 275-kV transmission lines use a bundle of two.
The conductors in electrical devices are commonly made of?
Copper
What motors does not utilize electrical conductors in its rotating component A synchronous B wound rotor C universal D squirrel cage-induction?
All motors require electrical conductors in their rotor!
What is the difference between insulated wire and ordinary cable?
Insulated wires and cables are commonly used conductors in power engineering
What colour insulation is used for active conductors?
Active conductors are typically insulated with colored sheaths in accordance with industry standards. In most cases, active conductors are insulated with colors such as red, brown, or black to indicate the live or phase conductors. This color coding helps to easily identify and differentiate active conductors from neutral or ground wires in electrical systems.
What are the advantages of wired?
It protects the insulated conductors against mechanical and environmental damage.
Can insulated conductors carry eddy current due to magnetic filed?
i not give u
Do static electricity not allow electricity to pass through?
Sorta ... static electricity always develops on insulated things : either non-conductors or isolated conductors.
Difference between a bare conductor and a insulated conductor?
A bare conductor is a conductor that does not have any insulation covering it, while an insulated conductor is a conductor that is covered with a non-conductive material to prevent electrical contact with other objects. Bare conductors are typically used in overhead power lines, while insulated conductors are used in most building wiring applications to prevent electrical shocks and short circuits.
Where in the NEC does it mention In hospitals the conductors of an insulated system in a wet location must be red where a receptacle is used?
It dosen't.
What is the Difference between air insulated substation and gas substation?
Air insulated means the substation is in the open air, and the dielectric strength of the air is used to isolate conductors from each other and from ground. Gas insulated means a specific gas is used for insulation; this gas is usually an inert gas such as nitrogen. Gas insulated substations, by definition, are required to be inside a contained structure, or large piping must be placed around all conductors to hold the gas.
What is zip cord?
Zip cord is a type of plastic insulated wire having 2 or more conductors. These conductors can be easily separated by manually "unzipping" the cord along a molded indentation between conductors. Zip cord with a large number of conductors is usually called ribbon cable.
What are disadvantages of conductors?
Disadvantages of good conductor
Can high voltage wire be used for low voltage fixture?
yes, all conductors shall be insulated to the highest voltage utilised
Why do igneous rocks that cool from magma underground cool so slowly?
They are surrounded by hot rock and are insulated by the surrounding material. Rocks are poor conductors of heat.
