Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Either one can acquire a static charge.
Material that does not allow an electric charge to pass trough it?
An insulator will not allow much current to pass. There is a large quantity of insulating materials. There are no perfect insulators or conductors.
What are some insulators and conductors?
Insulators are like rubber and wood because insulators that stops the flow of electrical charge. Conducts are the opposite so the items would be metal .
What are the materials that resist the flow of electric charges through them are called?
True..Materials, such as copper or aluminum, that offer low resistance to the flow of electric charge are called conductors.
What the best conductors and insulators?
Most Metals are the best conductors. Like, silver. The best insulators are plastic, like glass. These materials are some of the best conductors/insulators because of their ability/inability to conduct electric current. Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a medium. Insulators have a high resistance and do not allow electrons to flow easily through them. Conductors have a low resistance allowing electrons to flow freely. In order to say which is the best or worst conductor you can check a resistivity table(typically measured in ohms). Be careful to look at the temperature of the material because that can change the resistivity.

What is more important insulators or conductors?
Conductors and Insulators. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

What kind of materials can become electrically charge when they are rubbed together?
Insulators

A collection of charge is in one place that is not moving is called what?
For many materials such as balloons, the charge stays in one spot where you rub the object. Such materials fit into a class called insulators. The answer to your question is: insulators or insulation.
How can you create a static charge on an insulator?
If they are made of different materials and are both insulators.
What is electrostatic charges?
Charge can also be present on insulators and because these materials do not allow the charge to flow, this is called electrostatic charge
What is conductors and insulators?
Conductors are good absorber of heat whereas insulator are bad absorber of heat .Examples of conductors are silver,copper,etc..and example of insulators are plastic,ebonite,etc...
