Conductors allow electric current to flow through them, with examples including aluminum, silver, copper, gold, and iron. Silver is the best conductor, while copper is commonly used for wires due to its availability and low cost. Insulators do not allow electric current to pass through, protecting people from harm, with examples being glass, rubber, plastic, clay, wood, and paper. Glass is the best insulator of electricity, followed by plastic. The document provides information on conductors and insulators of electricity through definitions, examples, and a short quiz.

1. Conductors and insulators
MADE BY NEEL MALHOTRA

2. What is an electrical conductor? What are the
examples of a electrical conductor?
Some materials which allow an electric current to flow
through them are calledconductors of electricity.
 Examples of some conductors are:
1. ALUMINIUM
2. SILVER
3. COPPER
4. GOLD
5. IRON
6. BRASS

3. BASICS ON ELETRICAL CONDUCTOR !!
 Silver is the best conductor of electricity.
 The second best conductor of electricity is copper.
 We usually have wires made up of copper because
copper is easy to find and is cheap enough to buy.
 REMEMBER THAT WATER IS ALSO A
CONDUCTOR OF EECTRICIRTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Insulators
 Some materials which do not allow an electric
current to flow through them are calledinsulators
of electricity.
 Insulators do not allow any current to pass through
them.
 These protect us from the harm that electric current
can cause.
 Wires are always covered with an insulator.
 Rubber, plastic, and glass make the best insulators.

5. Examples of insulators
GLASS
RUBBER
PLASTIC
CLAY
WOOD
COTTON
PAPER

6. BACIS OF INSULATOR
 Glass is the best insulator of electricity.
 Plastic is the second best insulator of electricity.
 REMEMBER THAT INSULATORS ARE VERY
USEFUL IN YOUR DAILY LFE!!!!!
