Conductors vs Insulators

Name a property of insulators.

• Insulators have high resistance to the flow of energy.

• Insulators conduct electricity easily.

• Insulators are always made of metal.

• Insulators have low thermal resistance.

Give an example of a conductor.

• Gold

• Copper

• Plastic

• Wood

What is the main difference between conductors and insulators?

• Conductors allow energy to flow through them, while insulators do not.

• Insulators allow energy to flow through them, while conductors do not.

• Both conductors and insulators allow energy to flow through them equally.

• Conductors and insulators are the same in terms of energy flow.

What is an insulator?

• A material that allows energy to flow easily

• A material that does not allow energy to flow easily

• A type of conductor that enhances energy flow

• A substance that absorbs energy without transferring it

What does an insulator do?

• An insulator stops the flow of energy.

• An insulator enhances the flow of energy.

• An insulator converts energy into heat.

• An insulator allows energy to pass freely.

What is a common use of conductors?

• Conductors are commonly used in electrical wiring.

• Conductors are used for insulation purposes.

• Conductors are primarily used in cooking utensils.

• Conductors are used to store energy.

What is a conductor?

• A material that allows energy to flow through it easily.

• A device that stores electrical energy.

• A type of insulator that prevents energy flow.

• A material that only conducts heat, not electricity.

Name a property of conductors.

• Conductors have low resistance to the flow of energy.

• Conductors are always made of metal.

• Conductors can store energy indefinitely.

• Conductors are poor at transferring heat.

Give an example of an insulator.

• Rubber

• Copper

• Aluminum

• Iron

What is the role of metals in conductors?

• Metals are often good conductors because they have free electrons that allow energy to flow.

• Metals are poor conductors due to their tightly bound electrons.

• Metals do not conduct electricity at all.

• Metals only conduct electricity when heated.
