Want this question answered?
the substances that allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat conductors. the substances that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat insulators. ruchi
Heat conductors allow heat energy to pass through; heat insulators do not.
Thermal insulators don't.
Materials that do not allow heat to pass are insulators. (In real life, there are no perfect insulators, but if not much heat passes, then it is an insulator.)
insulators do not allow electricity to pass through them whereas conductors allow electricity to pass through them.

insulators do not allow electricity to pass through them whereas conductors allow electricity to pass through them.
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Because insulators do not have free electrons as conductors in insulators electrons are very tight so its electrons do not allow electricity to pass through them!
reduce the amount of heat passing though
These substances are called thermal insulators.
Superconductors are materials that let current or electricity pass through them. Insulators are materials that don't allow current or electricity to pass through them. Superconductors are mostly all metals. Insulators are wood, plastic, and paper.
a electrical insulator is a kind of material that does not allow electricity to pass through it.
Conductors are materials that allow energy such as heat and electricity to pass through while insulators prevent the energy to flow. Most metals are considered good conductors while rubber is a good insulator.
