What are Conductors and What are Insulators?


What are conductors?

Conductors are things that electricity can flow through easily. Conductors are made of atoms. The atoms’ electrons move around freely. Some types of Conductors are Copper, Aluminum, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Water, People, Animals and trees. All of these things are great conductors.

What are Insulators?

Insulators are the opposite of Conductors. The atoms’ electrons can’t move freely like Conductors. Insulators aren't that stable which blocks the flow of electricity. Glass, Porcelain, Plastic and Rubber are excellent insulators.
