Insulators and Conductors

The video tutorial introduces the concepts of conductors and insulators using a bus analogy to explain how electricity flows in a circuit. It discusses the materials that can conduct electricity, such as metals, and those that cannot, like rubber and plastic, which are insulators. The importance of using insulators for safety is emphasized, along with practical safety tips to prevent electric shocks. The tutorial concludes with a reminder of the dangers of electricity and the necessity of adult supervision when handling electrical equipment.

What analogy is used to explain the flow of electricity?
