Conducters and Insulators Flashcards
1
Q
Do insulators easily let electricity flow through them?
A
Insulators do not easily allow electricity to flow through them.
2
Q
Give two examples of the best conductors:
A
Copper and gold are the best, the conductors are mostly metals.
3
Q
Give an example of an insulator:
A
Plastic is an insulator
4
Q
Are the inside of wires conductors or insulators? Why?
A
They are conductors because electricity easily flows in and out the wire.
5
Q
What is on the outside of the wire (conductors/insulators) and why?
A
There is an insulator (often plastic) on the outside of the wire to make sure electricity flows where it’s suppose to.
6
Q
What is a conductor?
A
A conductor is something that allows electricity to easily flow through it.
