  • Q5
    What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?
    A conductor is used in series circuits, while an insulator is used in parallel circuits.
    A conductor only allows AC current to pass through it, while an insulator allows DC current.
    An insulator allows electric current to pass through it easily, while a conductor does not.
    A conductor allows electric current to pass through it easily, while an insulator does not.
