CONDUCT?

Conduct means to transfer of something. While the materials that

transfer something through themselves was called “Conductors.”
Conductors are divided into two categories:
a. Heat
b. Electricity

What is a conductor?

Conductors allows energy to pass, flow or get through. A thing

that conducts heat or electricity.
A substance or medium that conducts heat, light, sound, or especially an
electric charge.
Here are some examples of conductors:

Iron Gold

What is an insulator?

Insulator are any materials that does NOT allow electric

current. A substance which does not readily allow the passage of
heat or sound: "Cotton is a poor insulator."
 Insulators aim to prevent the transference of energy, so good insulators have small
thermal conductivity values. The thickness of the insulator is also important.

A good insulator is one that prevents most of the incoming energy from
being transferred. The measure of a material's ability to conduct energy
through it is called thermal conductivity.

Here are an examples of insulators:
