Solution

The material, which conducts electricity, is known as conductor. In day to day life, we use so many electrical appliances which are made up of conductors. These conductors help us to create an electrical path for the electricity to flow through it. Hence, conductors play an important role in day to day life. Since direct contact with electrical circuits can be fatal as electric current can give fatal burns. So to protect ourselves from electricity, we can use insulators which acts as a protecting layer as insulators do not conduct electricity. Hence, both conductors and insulators are equally important in day to day life.
