Question

Give an example of a bad conductor.

Answer 1

Bad conductor:

1. Materials that do not allow heat or electricity to pass through is known as bad conductor.
2. Bad conductors are also known as insulators.
3. In these materials, the particles are prevented from free-flowing inside the material.
4. When a charge or heat energy is applied to one point of the material, it stays in the same position and is not conducted anywhere else.
5. These kinds of materials can be charged by induction of charges, in the case of conductor or electric charges.
6. An example of such a material is wood.

Hence, an example of a bad conductor is wood.
