Question

A. Define a conductor and insulator.

B. Define conduction and induction.

i’m having a hard time understanding the differences between the 4.

Answer 1

A) A conductor is a material which allows electric current to easily flow in one or more directions through it..

An insulator is a material which hinders the flow of electric current through it.

B) Conduciton is the process in which charged particles flow from one part of a body to the other part of the body or from one body to another body in presence of an electric field.

Induction is the process in which a charged body induces charge on another conductor when both the conductors are brought close to each other.
