conductor
In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of electrical current in one or more directions. For people , a wire is an electrical conductor that can carry electricity along its length.
semiconductor
A solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.
insulator
A thing or substance used for insulation, in particular.
insulator
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators. Compare conductor.
semiconductor
a substance, as silicon or germanium, with electrical conductivity intermediate between that of an insulator and a conductor : a basic component of various kinds of electronic circuit element (semiconductor device) used in communications, control, and detection technology and in computers.
conductor
conductor definition. A material through which electric current can pass. In general, metals are good conductors. Copper or aluminum is normally used to conduct electricity in commercial and household systems. (Compare insulator.)
compare & contrast
The conductivity of conductor is very high,The conductivity of insulator is very low,and The conductivity of semiconductor is moderate.
