Learn what are conductors and insulators with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.

Electrical current flows easily through a conductor, but does not flow through an insulator. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

In general, system construction requires cables to be supported. In our case, the supporting devices for the covered conductor are spacers and insulators. When a polyethylene covered cable comes in ...

Conductors have a band gap close to 0 eV (electronvolts), semiconductors range approximately between 1 and 9 eV, and anything above is usually considered an insulator.

Some materials that are inherently disordered display unusual conductivity, sometimes behaving like insulators and sometimes like conductors. Physicists have now analysed the conductivity in a ...
