What are common conductors and insulators?

Conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Insulators oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver. Some common insulators are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.

What are 5 examples of conductors?

Conductors:

• silver.
• copper.
• gold.
• aluminum.
• iron.
• steel.
• brass.
• bronze.

What is another example of an insulator and conductor combination?

Difference between Conductors and Insulators

Conductors	Insulators
Copper, Aluminium, and Mercury are some conductors	Wood, paper and ceramic are some insulators
Conductors are used in making electrical equipment.	Insulators are used in insulating electrical equipment for safety purpose

What is an example of a good insulator?

Wool, dry air, plastics, and polystyrene foam are all examples of good insulators. Materials that do not insulate well are called conductors.

What are conductors and insulators of electricity give two examples of each?

The substances which allow electric current to flow through them easily are called conductors. Examples: Impure water and metals. The substances which do not allow the electric current to flow through them are called insulators. Examples: Rubber and wood.
