DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS
CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS
Conductors are substances that allow free electrons to flow through
them easily, thereby transferring energy in the form of electricity as
electrons move freely from atom to atom.
Insulators, on the other hand, are substances that have exactly the
opposite effect on the flow of electrons.
Examples
Conductors:
Paper clip/ metals- can help electrical current flows through some materials.
These are called conductors. Steel is a conductors.
Insulators:
Plastic toys- electrical current doesn’t flow through other materials. These
materials are insulators. Plastic is an insulator.
Difference between Conductors and
Insulators
1.Conductors anticipate free flow of electric current because electrons roam
freely from one atom to another with ease. Insulators, on the other hand,
oppose electric current because they won’t permit free flow of electrons from
one particle to another.
2.Conductors can easily transfer energy in the form of electricity or heat, for that
matter. However, insulators cannot transfer electrical energy so easily so they
resist electricity.
3.Conductors can easily pass electricity through them because of the free
electrons present in their atomic structure, but insulators, on the other hand,
cannot pass electricity through them.
4.Conductors are substances whose atoms do not have tightly bound
electrons thus they are free to roam around in one or many directions.
However, electrons are tightly bound within atoms in case of insulators
thereby restricting any movement of electrons within the nominal range
of applied voltage.
5.Conductors usually have a low resistance, but not zero resistance
unless they are super conductors. Insulators have a high resistance
to electricity.
6.Conductors conduct electricity while insulators insulate electricity. For
example, the metallic wire in an electric cord is a conductor, while the
sheath or the protective cover is the insulator.
DIFFERENCES
CONDUCTORS INSULATORS
• A conductor allows current
to flow easily through it.
• The resistance of conductor
is very low.
• Electric charge exists on the
surface of conductors.
• Insulators don’t allow
current to flow through it.
• The resistance of insulator
is very high.
• Electric charge are absent in
insulator.
Similarities
In terms of structure, hardness and softness,
density and doping can change a conductor to
an insulator and vice-versa.
