How is a conductor different then an insulator?

Answer 1

A conductor is very good with energy it can produce energy (A conductor). A insulator cannot produce heat. You don't get any energy out of an insulator.

Answer 2

A conductor allows electric current to flow through it easily due to its ability to conduct electricity, typically metals like copper. An insulator is a material that does not allow electric current to pass through it easily and maintains good electrical resistance, like rubber or plastic.
