What is a conductor?

• A material that allows electricity to go through it
• The area of a conductor through which a current is able to move
• A battery or other device which provides energy for a curcuit
• When there is only one path for the electricity to flow

What is one use for an insulator?

• it slows down the flow of energy

• it stores electric current to produce heat and electricity

• it allows electric current to flow through it

• it makes electrically charged objects safe to handle
