Yes because if that was not true you would get shocks all the time .Also the wires and cables in your homes are all wrapped in plastic (a insulator).

True or false a good insulator is a poor conductor?

The statement ' a good insulator is a poor conductor' is false because a good insulator will not conduct at all.


Is it true that an electrical insulator does not allow electricity to pass through it?

Yes, it is true.


Insulator stop the flow of electrons truue or false?

True.


Is rust an insulator?

No, rust is not an insulator. Rust is a form of iron oxide that is a poor conductor of electricity, but it is not a true insulator. It can still conduct electricity to some extent due to the presence of iron in its composition.


Is it true or false that the tungsten wire in the light bulb is an example of an insulator?

False. The tungsten wire in a light bulb is not an insulator; it is a conductor. It allows electrical current to flow through it, generating heat and light when electricity passes through. Insulators, on the other hand, are materials that do not conduct electricity well.


Is grass and insulator?

Grass is not considered an electrical insulator; it can conduct electricity to some degree, especially when wet. While it has lower conductivity compared to metals, moisture can enhance its ability to conduct electricity. Therefore, while grass may not be a good conductor, it does not function as a true insulator.


table salt is insulator true or false?

Pure water has its salts removed and one molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Insulators, on the other hand, are non conducting materials that support only insignificant amounts of electric current. ... Common table salt (NaCl) is one of them. For example, solid sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) does not conduct electricity; it is an insulator.


What are materials that don't allow electrons to move through them easily?

Isolators.


Is it true that heat is an example of insulator?

No, heat is not an example of an insulator. Insulators are materials that do not conduct heat well, such as wood or plastic. Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.


Does the compass needle change direction if the flow of electricity in the wire near it is reversed?

Yes, the compass needle will change direction if the flow of electricity in the wire near it is reversed. This is because the flow of electricity creates a magnetic field around the wire, which can interact with the magnetic field of the compass needle.


True or false when a magnet is moved electricity is formed?

True. When a magnet is moved near a conductor, such as a wire, it causes a change in the magnetic field around the conductor. This change induces an electric current to flow in the conductor, resulting in the formation of electricity.


What are the differences between charged conductors and insulators?

Insulators block the flow of electricity, and therfore cannot be charged. That is completely wrong. An insulator can be charged. The difference is that the charge carriers in an insulator will be still, and will not respond to each other's fields. This is not true for a conductor, where the coulomb forces between charges will force all charge to the surface of the conductor, as a result of Gauss' law.
