Insulators and Conductors Quiz

Insulators restrict the flow of temperature energy, while conductors allow the flow of temperature energy.

Insulators have low thermal conductivity and do not transfer temperature energy easily, while conductors have high thermal conductivity and readily transfer temperature energy.

Insulators help to prevent the loss or gain of temperature energy, while conductors facilitate the transfer of temperature energy.
