Difference between Conductor, semiconductor and insulator

Question

Accepted Answer

Conductors, semiconductors, and insulators are materials that differ in their ability to conduct electricity.

Conductors have high electrical conductivity and allow the flow of electric current easily.
Semiconductors have moderate electrical conductivity, which can be controlled by adding impurities or applying voltage.
Insulators have very low electrical conductivity and do not allow the flow of electric current.
Conductors include metals like copper, silver, and gold.
Semiconductors include materials like silicon and germanium.
Insulators include materials like rubber, glass, and plastic.

Accepted Answer

Levels of conductivity are the main difference between conductors, semiconductors and insulators

Accepted Answer

Conductors display high conductivity, which means they allow energy, such as electricity, heat or sound, to easily flow through them. Whereas semiconductors allow a moderate flow and insulators exhibit low conductivity.
