An insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current and heat, effectively preventing energy transfer. In contrast, a bad conductor is a material that allows some current or heat to pass through, but not efficiently. While both types of materials impede energy transfer, insulators do so much more effectively than bad conductors. Examples include rubber as an insulator and certain metals like iron as bad conductors.

What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?

an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics


The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?

A good conductor allows for the easy flow of electricity due to its high conductivity, while a good insulator restricts the flow of electricity due to its high resistance. Conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move easily, while insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily.

What is the difference between a good insulator and a bad one?

A good insulator is good at stopping heat escaping, whereas a bad insulator is not very good at trapping heat and lets it out.


Do you say insulator of heat or bad conductor of heat Which is correct Or both are correct?

well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....


Is a plastic bag a conductor?

No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
