उत्तर १
DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS OF ELECTRICITY:
| CONDUCTORS | INSULATORS |
| (i) They allow the current electricity to flow through them. | Do not allow the current electricity to flow through them. |
| (ii) They have a large number of free electrons. | They have a small number of free electrons. |
| (iii) All metals like Ag, Cu, iron, gold, wet wood etc. | Cotton, dry wood, rubber, glass distilled water etc. |
| (iv) Conductors cannot be charged by rubbing. | Can be charged by rubbing. |

DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS OF ELECTRICITY:
| Basis For Comparison | Conductor | Insulator |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Material which permits the electric current or heat to pass through it. | Restrict the electric current or heat to pass through it. |
| Electric Field | Exist on the surface but remain zero inside the conductor. | Do not exit on insulator. |
| Magnetic Field | Store energy | Do not store energy |
| Potential | Remain same at all the point on a conductor. | Remain zero. |
| Thermal Conductivity | High | Low |
| Covalent bond | Weak | Strong |
| Conductivity | Very high | Low |
| Resistance | Low | High |
| Electrons | Freely move | Do not move freely |
| Resistivity | Vary from high to low | High |
| Temperature coefficient | Positive temperature coefficient of resistance | Negative temperature coefficient of resistance |
| Conduction band | Full of electrons | Remain empty |
| Valence Band | Remains Empty | Full of electrons |
| Forbidden gap | No forbidden gap | Large forbidden gap |
| Examples | Irons, aluminium, silver, copper, etc. | Rubber, Wood, Paper, etc. |
| Application | For making electrical wires and conductor | As insulation in electrical cables or conductor, for supporting electrical equipment etc. |
