SECTION 3
A conductor is a substance that allows electrons to move freely from one atom to another.
Conductors
A conductor is a material that allows electric current to pass through it. Types of metal such as silver and copper are usually the best conductors.
Conductors
The inside of wires and the connective parts of switches are made of conductors.
insulator
An insulator is a substance that electrons cannot move freely from one atom to another.
Insulator
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.
TIP
Why are insulators layered overtop of conductors so often in every day life? FOR PROTECTION!!!
