Certain materials will build up static charges when rubbed together. If you take fur and rub it against an acrylic rod then separate them, a static charge will have been built up and stored on the surface of the acrylic rod.

What is stored in the bonds that hold compounds together?

A material in which charges cannot move freely?

An insulator is a material in which charges cannot move freely. Insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not easily flow in response to an electric field. Examples of insulators include glass, rubber, and plastic.


Are material that don't conduct electrical charges called insulators?

Yes, materials that do not conduct electrical charges are called insulators. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity, making them suitable for protecting against electric shock and preventing the loss of energy in electrical systems. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.


Materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulators?

No material exists that doesn't conduct electrical charges at all. We call materials that conduct electrical charges poorly insulators; a material that didn't conduct electricity at all would be a perfect insulator.


Is Materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulatorst?

Yes, materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulators. Insulators have high resistivity and prevent the flow of electric current. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.


Negative charges do not flow freely through these materials?

Insulators


Can insulators be polarized?

Yes, insulators can be polarized. This means that the charges within the insulator can be rearranged in response to an external electric field.


Why can insulators have a static charges?

Insulators can hold static charges because they do not conduct electricity easily. This allows them to trap excess electrons or protons, creating an imbalance of charge on their surface. The lack of free-moving electrons in insulators prevents the charge from quickly dissipating.


Are static charges accumulate both on good and poor conductors of electricity?

Static charges are accumulated generally on insulators.
