DISTINGUISH BETWEEN INSULATORS AND CONDUCTORS {GIVE AT LEAST 6-7
POINTS}

Vaibhav Tiwari · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,
Differences between a conductor and insulator
1 A conductor allows flow of electric current through it when a
potential difference is applied across its ends while an insulator
does not conduct electricity unless vert very high potential
difference is applied across its ends
2 A good conductor of electricity is generally a good conductor
of heat, insulators do not conduct heat too
3 Conductors have free electrons on its surface, insulators have
bounded electrons on its surface
Example of conductor: Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu), Aluminum
(Al)
Examples of insulators: Ebonite, Sulphur, Poly-vinyl
Chloride
