Answer 1

Conductors and Insulators

	Conductors		Insulators
1	A substance which has very low electrical resistance is called a conductor.	1	A substance which has infinitely high electrical resistance is called an insulator.
2	Conductors contain charge carriers which can be easily accelerated by a potential difference.	2	Insulators do not contain charge carriers which can be easily accelerated by a potential difference.
3	Silver and copper are conductors.	3	Wood and glass are insulators.
