Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the difference between a conductor and insulator?
A
conductor:allows electricity to flow easily. insulator:does not allow electricity to flow easily
B
conductor:does not allow electricity to flow easilyinsulator:allows electricity to flow easily
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A conductor allows current to flow easily through it. Insulators don’t allow current to flow through it. Electric charges are absent in insulator. Conductors are used in making electrical equipment.

Detailed explanation-2: -A conductor is a material that allows electrons to flow freely through it, making it useful for carrying electric current. An insulatoris a material that resists the flow of electrons, so it does not allow electric current to pass through it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conductors allow for charge transfer through the free movement of electrons. In contrast to conductors, insulators are materials that impede the free flow of electrons from atom to atom and molecule to molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -We have just stated that conductors allow electricity to flow through them while insulators resist the flow of electricity. Let’s discuss some additional terms that are used to describe how electricity is transferred through conductors. These terms are Voltage, Current, and Resistance.

Detailed explanation-5: -Assertion :Insulators do not allow flow of current through them. Reason: Insulators have no free charge carriers.
