Answer to Question #291087 in Electrical Engineering for jay

Question

Explain the difference between installation and insulation.

Answer 1

The word insulator comes from the Latin root insulātus, which means "like an island." If your house is built out of good insulators, you might enjoy an island of warmth inside it even during cold winter nights. The opposite of an insulator is a conductor: a material that easily transmits heat or electricity.

Installation is a work of art that usually consists of multiple components often in mixed media and that is exhibited in a usually large space in an arrangement specified by the artist.
