Question
What is the difference between a conductor and a non-conductor?
✓

Answer

When an electric potential difference is established at the ends of a conductor, charge flows easily in it, whereas this does not happen in a non-conductor. The number of free electrons is very high in conductors, whereas this number is negligible in non-conductors.
