How does an electrical insulator work?
Any material that does not allow the free flow of electrons.
How does an insulator affect the flow of electricity?
It prevents the flow of electricity since they do not have mobile electrons or mobile ions to allow the flow of electricity.
Is wood an insulator or a conductor of heat?
wood is an insulator of heat because its electrons don't allow heat and electricity to flow through them
Is a marble a conductor or a insulator?
Marble is an insulator.
What is a material through which electrons do not easily flow?
insulator
Is the plastic or rubber around copper an insulator because it allows the flow of electrons?
No, it is an insulator because it DOES NOT allow the flow of electrons.
Is plastic or rubber around copper wires an insulator because it allows the flow of electron?
No, it is an insulator because it DOES NOT allow the flow of electrons.

Is wood of heat a conductor or insulator?
wood is an insulator of heat because its electrons don't allow heat and electricity to flow through them
Is wood an insulator or a conductor of heat?
wood is an insulator of heat because its electrons don't allow heat and electricity to flow through them
How are conductor and insulator alike?
They are not alike at all. A conductor allows for the free passage of electrons throughout its body, while an insulator does not allow electrons to flow through its body.
What are materials that don't allow electrons to move through them easily?
Isolators.
Is glass insulator or conductor?
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
Something that will not let electricity flow through it?
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
Is a marble a conductor or a insulator?
Marble is an insulator.
A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
