Difference between insulator and conductors
|
Insulators |
Conductors |
|
Definition |
|
| Those material objects which do not allow the charge (electric current ) to pass through them are called insulator or non-conductors. | Those material objects which allow charge (electric current)to pass through them are called conductors. |
|
Free electrons |
|
| In insulators are bound tightly with the nuclei. | Ina conductor some of the electrons are loosely bound and can move about freely with in the material. |
|
Example |
|
| Wood, plastic, rubber, etc. | Copper, iron, aluminum, gold, silver etc. |
