   What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

   • An electrical conductor is a material that allows electricity to pass through it easily. An electrical insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily. Metals are the best materials for conducting electricity. There are minerals that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

   Is water a conductor or a material?

   • Water is an electrical conductor. Children will test materials for conductivity, but the teaching slides will note that some non-metals are electrical conductors and that it is the dissolved minerals in water that can conduct electricity, not the water itself. Material - A material is what objects are made from such as wood, metal or plastic.

   Which material conducts electricity if dissolved in water?

   • Metals are the best materials for conducting electricity. There are minerals that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Examples of electrical insulators are plastic, rubber, wood, glass and air. Only metals are electrical conductors. All non-metals are electrical insulators. Water is an electrical conductor.

   What is the difference between a conductor and a load?

   • Conductors are the wire or metallic based substances that the electricity flows through. There is a small gap embedded in the conductor where you can close or open (turn on/off) the flow of electricity. The load is the object in the circuit that consumes the electric power, in most cases a light or electronic component.
