Conductors And Insulators Flashcards
1
Q
What is a conductor
A
A conductor is a material that has a low resistance, this allows an electrical current to flow through it
2
Q

3
Q
What is an insulator
A
An insulator is a material that has a high resistance which does not allow the flow of an electrical current

Q
Name 5 insulators
A
Plastic
Rubber
Cork
Ceramic
Glass
5
Q
What is a semi conductor
A
A semi conductor is a material with an electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. It is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator
