A material that is neither a conductor nor an insulator is called a semiconductor. Semiconductors have properties between those of conductors and insulators, making them useful for applications like computer chips and solar cells.
Slate is an electrical insulator. Slate is not a conductor of electricity.
Wood is not a good electrical conductor as it does not allow the flow of electricity easily due to its high resistance. However, it is also not a perfect insulator as it can conduct a small amount of electricity under certain conditions.
Yes. Wood, plastic, and glass are all indeed an insulator. The reason being is that neither of those conduct energy well. But a few materials that would be very good CONDUCTORS would be copper, tin, or aluminum. Hope that helped ;)
Neon is neither a metal nor non-metal. it is a noble gas.
No. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, neither of which has any magnetic property.
neither, germanium is a semiconductor
An insulator or neither. The water inside of the sponge is what would conduct electricity.
Wind is neither a conductor nor an insulator. It is simply moving air. Wind does not have the ability to conduct or insulate electricity like materials such as metals or rubber.
a material is neither a good conductor nor a perfect insulator because the number of free electrons determine the conductivity of a material.when we charge the material by electrification the transfer of electrons from one body to another takes place.and the atom is ionized because in each atom electrons are attracted by other material and net charge on the body is positive.but this is not permanent nor temporary.as we know that earth is a charged body and charge on conductor can be discharge by earthing a conductor and it is no more conductor.similarly in insulators the aoms locally polarize by bringing close to any charged body and the charge on insulator is temporary because there is deficiency of electrons.if we continously charged the insulator material finally a stage is reached when it becomes conductor e.g when clouds are attracted they charged the air and air becomes conductor and lightening strikes,we also know that air is insulator but due to excess charging air becomes conductor.
An LED (light-emitting diode) is a semiconductor device, which means it is neither a perfect insulator nor a perfect conductor. Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. LED's conductivity can be controlled by applying a voltage, allowing them to both conduct and block electrical current.
Insulator
Silicon is an element that falls in between being a good conductor and a good insulator. It is a semiconductor which means its conductivity can be modified by introducing impurities or applying an electric field.
Wooden blocks are insulators because wood is a poor conductor of electricity. This is because wood contains a high proportion of non-metallic elements that do not easily allow the flow of electrical current.
A semiconductor is a device which is neither a Insulator nor a conductor. They behave like one in the right conditions.
Well, honey, a hat is neither a conductor nor an insulator. It's just a piece of fabric or material you put on your head to look snazzy or protect yourself from the sun. If you're looking for something to conduct electricity, you might want to try a metal spoon or a wire. But hey, if you want to wear a hat and pretend you're conducting some fabulous symphony, go right ahead!
I think it's neither really. Air doesn't insulate heat very well in fact it lets quite a bit out . so it's not a good insulator if you wanted an insulator you'd use some lagging material or a vacuum flask. Air does conduct heat slowly and inefficiently in no particular direction . but not quickly & in a definite direction like metal does (once it's got up to temperature). basically if you wanted an insulator or a conductor you'd definitely choose some other material entirely for the task , because Air isn't much good at either.
chalk is an insulator because heat does not flow through it as easily.
