Which is insulator?
A insulator is something that doesn't transfer electricity. As you probably know, metal is a very good conductor (which is the opposite to insulator - it transfers electricity -) so if you imagine a light bulb a battery and wires, and connect them all, and leave a little space for the switch, but don't add it in, just add the metal in the switches place and the bulb will light. But if you add an insulator like wood for example, the bulb wouldn't light up. Wood is an insulator and lots of other things are too. Just to let you know water is a conductor! I didn't believe that myself until I watched a video on youtube about it!
Is cardboard a good conductor of electricity?
Cardboard is an insulator of electricity. It is not the best insulator to use for this as cardboard can be affected by moisture and any corrosion of nearby batteries. If it becomes wet with an electrolyte solution (such as salt water), it could become a conductor under certain conditions.To test this, put a battery and a light in series and leave the contacts open between the light and the battery. Then touch the wire to the cardboard and the cardboard to the battery. The light will not light up.
Is a light bulb an insulator or conductor?
It is a conductor, but the filament is a resistor : as current flows through the filament, some of the energy is released as heat and light.
Which type of simple machine is at the bottom of a light bulb?
Screw
A block at the bottom of a pool does not appear to be at the bottom why?
Because light is refracted (bent) by the water so the block seems to be a little above the bottom but it really isn't.
What does the insulator do in a light bulb?
The insulator in a light bulb prevents us from getting an electric shock.
Is steel conductor or insulator?
insulator
You keep blowing the brake light fuse in your focus?
Are both your brake lights blowing out? If it affects only one light: it could be a bad light socket, or a pinched or frayed wire that is shorting out.

bottom
What color light to prevent a collision?
Any color light can prevent a collision.
What materials are flash light made from?
rubber because that is a good thermal insulator
What will happen if a glass of a light bulb is connected to a battery?
Nothing, glass is an insulator.
Why is light switch plastic?
plastic is an insulator so it keeps you from being electrocuted.
What is the insulator in a light bulb?
Glass is the insulator in a light bulb. The base has a heavy piece of glass to separate the ring from the center, and there is a glass support inside the bulb to hold up the filament and separate the wires going to the filament.
