In physics, any object or material of any type can be broadly classified into either conductors or insulators based on their current carrying properties. There are also materials knows as semiconductors which have some of the properties of conductors.

Explanation

- A conductor is a type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions through its body.
- Electrical current is generated by the flow of electrons, holes, and positive or negative ions in some special cases.
-On the other hand, an insulator is an object or type of material that do not allow the flow of charge through its body.
-Examples of conductors are metals and metallic wires, whereas examples of insulators are dry wood and plastics.

FINAL ANSWER:

A conductor is any material that allows charge to flow through its body while an insulator does not allow charge to flow through its body.
Metals are examples of conductors and dry wood is an example of an insulator.

Answer:

conductor:-

A substance that allows heat to pass through them is known as a conductor.

Example:-All the metals, water, etc.

Insulator:-

A substance that does not allows heat to pass through them is known as an insulator.

Example:-All the nonmetals etc.

Temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance are moving. Why is a substance hotter in the gas state than in the
dolphi86 [110]
Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!

What is the average speed of a plane that flies 7,200 km in 9 hours?
Mnenie [13.5K]
First of all, the formula for speed is;
Speed=distance/time
From the question, you have;
distance=7,200km
Time=9 hours
So that will be;
Speed=7200/9
When divided, you will have;
Speed=800
The unit for speed is km/hr or m/s. So that will be;
Speed=800km/hr
Hope that helped, have a nice day
