This instrument can be used to see if materials conduct electricity. Which of these groups contains items that could all conduct electricity to complete the circuit?

rubber ball, plastic comb, nail

Materials that transfer energy.

Material that does NOT transfer energy.

Materials that are connected to circuits.

The plastic covering is there to:

Provide an insulator so that electrical energy will not pass outside of the wires.

Provide a conductor for electrical energy to flow.

Provide a conductor so that electrical energy can NOT flow.

Provide an insulator so that electrical energy can flow.

The metal copper is there to:

Provide a conductor for energy to flow from one place to another.

Provide an insulator for energy to flow from one place to another.

Provide an insulator to slow the flow of energy.

Provide a conductor so slow the flow of energy.

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily and an insulator does not.

An insulator allows electricity to flow through it easily and a conductor does not

An insulator is magnetic and a conductor is not

A conductor is magnetic and an insulator is not

A conductor is a material that allows electric charge to move through it as an electric current. Usually the charge is carried by electrons, and the conductor is a metal.

A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators. Compare conductor.
