Charged Conductor and Charged Insulator

Understanding the Conductor and Insulator is the foundation and crucial to fully understand the polarization problem.

The Main Idea

All materials are made of atoms that contains electrons and protons. However, at the microscopic level there can be difference in structure that lead to very different behavior when they are exposed to electric field. Conductor and Insulator is what are discussed in the physics 2 classes.

Conductor

Definition

A conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of electrical current in one or more directions.
