Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to pass through it easily.

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that slows down or stops the flow of electricity.

Front

What is the role of conductors in electrical circuits?

Back

Conductors allow electricity to flow through the circuit, powering devices.

Front

What is the role of insulators in electrical circuits?

Back

Insulators protect us from electric shock by preventing electricity from flowing where it shouldn't.

Front
