Answer by  jkc (258)

A conductor of electricity is a material that will transport electrons in the form of a voltage generally a metal carbon based material of low Ohmic resistance, the best conductor is Gold then Silver. the most common conductor used is copper. on the other hand an insulator is of very high omic resistance such as mica pvc.

Conductor is a material which can conduct electricity, light or heat.An electric conductor is something that can conduct electricity. For example metal, ionic solution,graphite.Copper and aluminium are the most common electric conductors.Bad electric conductors are rubber,plastic,glass,wax etc.The best electric conductors are copper and silver.Ionized gas also can conduct electricity.There also super conductors which can conduct electricity without wasting energy.
