Metals, such as gold and silver, are conductors whereas wood and rubber are insulators.
Rubber is an insulator for normal voltages.
A capacitor is composed of two conductors separated by an insulator, which stores electric charge between the conductors.
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.
Conductors
Insulator.
wool is a insulator
Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold
it's an insulator. conductors are things like metals or salts.
The metal is the conductors, the rubbery or plastic stuff is the insulator.

Semiconductors have resistance levels between that of conductors and insulators. They conduct electricity better than insulators but not as well as conductors, making them useful in electronic devices. Examples include silicon and germanium.
Conductors are good absorber of heat whereas insulator are bad absorber of heat .Examples of conductors are silver,copper,etc..and example of insulators are plastic,ebonite,etc...
