Conductor and Insulator All you need to know

by Powell

Conductor is a material or object that permits an electric current to flow easily. b: a material capable of transmitting another form of energy (as heat or sound)

insulator, is any of substances that block or retard the flow of electrical or thermal currents.

Examples of insulators include plastics, Styrofoam, paper, rubber, glass  and much more

Plastic, rubber, wood, and ceramics are good insulators. These are often used to make kitchen utensils, such as saucepan handles, to stop heat from flowing up to burn the cook’s hand. Plastic coating is also used to cover most electrical wires in appliances.

you could find many conductors in a kitchen, for example pots and pans, forks, knives, and spoons
