Insulator is bad conductor of electricity so it not allow to pass current.

I know insulator is a bad conductor. But in question asking under "normal condition". I think answer is sc.

Sandeep said:   1 decade ago
The answer may be semiconductor also why b/c in normal condition it doesn't allow to flow electrons. It allows electrons only when temp is critical temp & critical temp is not as a normal condition.

But at normal condition semiconductor work as an insulator the answer should b semiconductor I think n as temperature increases it work as conductor. So why the answer is insulator.

Insulator are materials that does not allow the passes of electricity. Why through them?

Fady said:   1 decade ago
Insulator becomes conductive when temperature goes beyond break down level so at high voltage level current flows through it that called abnormal condition.

But a insulator not allow the flow of current then how it can.

Under Normal Condition, Semiconductors are also Behave Like Insulators. So the question is wrong I think.

In case of insulator free electrons are very less compared to conductor since. It won't carry current.

Nani Gopal Debnath said:   3 years ago
Under normal conditions semiconductor also doesn't allow current through it.

It needs an external energy source.

So, the insulator and semiconductor both will be correct.
