Conductors vs Insulators

Today I have learned about conductors and insulators. An  insulator is the electricity can not flow freely and in a conductor the electricity can flow freely. 

An example of an insulator is dry air that means that the electricity we'll be hard to flow freely. An expample of a conductor is wood that means that the electricity well flow freely. When I say that the electricity flows freely I mean that the atoms of the object can observe electricity freely. 

Today, I had contact with dry air. The air is so dry because it's so cold the electricity can't flow freely. This dry air is an insulator. 

Today, I also had contact with rubber. When I touched it you can feel the electricity. How? Well sometimes when I touch it I feel like a shock on my finger. This happens because we have the same kind of electricity ( positive or negative). So when I touched the rubber with the same kind of electricity as me we repel. Because it's look magnets positive and positive will repel and negative and negative. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

Electric Light

   




       
                     
                  Today in class we had to light a bulb with a battery and a wire. Do you think it was possible? Well yea it was possible... first I tried and tried but I couldn't figure it out. Finally, I got it to light up... you have to put the metal part from the bottom of the blub touching one end of the metal of the battery, then when those two sides are touching you then you touch the other side of the battery with one side of the wire and the other side you touch where the battery is touching the bulb.
