It prevents the flow of current, breaking the circuit.
Very thin layers of insulator are used to make capasitors, that can store charge.
It prevents current from flowing along undesired paths.

Is air a conductor or and insulator?
insulator as when the wires of a circuit are disconnected no electricity flows.
How is in insulator used in a circuit?
They stop the power
What are the uses of an insulator in a circuit?
To keep shorts from happening.
A closed path through which electrons can flow is?
A closed path through which electrons flow is known as a circuit.
How can you use a circuit to decide whether an object is a conductor or an insulator?
Well, if you have a functioning (=closed) circuit, and introduce an unknown object, then if the circuit is still functioning (=closed) then the object is a conductor. If it stops working, then it's either an insulator or an very poor conductor.
What changes a voltage in a circuit?
an insulator
Is air a conductor or and insulator?
insulator as when the wires of a circuit are disconnected no electricity flows.
What can stop a circuit from operating properly?
An insulator.
How is in insulator used in a circuit?
They stop the power
What does a insulator do in a circuit?
It protects us from electric shocks.

If an insulator with a lamp is connected in a electrical circuit The switch is turned-on What happens?
Please re define "If an insulator with a lamp"
Would a4 paper complete a circuit?
No paper is an insulator.

Can a circuit have more than one insulator?
Yes, depending on how you build it.
