What are Conductors?

• 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.
• an insulator
• an conductor 
• 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.

What are insulators?  

• 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.
• An object that is really, really, really, and I mean really truely, awesome.
• 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.

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

• An insulator allows electricity to flow through it easily and a conductor does not
• A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily and an insulator does not.
• An insulator is magnetic and a conductor is not
• A conductor is magnetic and an insulator is not
