PLEASE HELP ME How is a conductor different from an insulator? Conductors have magnetic fields; insulators do not have magnetic fields. Conductors do not have magnetic fields; insulators do have magnetic fields. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely; in an insulator, it cannot flow freely. In a conductor, electric current cannot flow freely; in an insulator, it can flow freely.

With a conductor, it allows electrical current or the electrons to move freely throughout its structure. With and insulator it provides a barrier of material in which does not allow the electrons to pass through.

The answer;

In a conductor, the electric current can flow freely; in an insulator, it cannot flow freely.

Electrical conductance is the measure of the ease to pass an electric current through a material. Conductors usually have free electron in their bonds that enable them to carry electric current end to end. The higher the free electrons the higher the conddictivity. Insulators on the other and have no free electrons with this regard. Having free electrons in the structure is mainly determined by the electron configuration of the atoms of the element.
