If a material does not allow charges to move through it easliy what is it called?
static electricity
What differentiates insulators and conductors?
insulators do not allow electricity to pass through them whereas conductors allow electricity to pass through them.
What materials allow electricity to pass through them?
All metals for example iron, copper, nickel. They are called conductors. Plastics and other elements do not, only metals. They allow electricity to pass through them because they have free electrons
What is an object that does not allow electricity to flow through?
An object that does not allow electricity to flow through easily is an insulator. It is so hard that it often won't go through at all. Sometimes you find an exception, like lightening. There is nothing that electricity cannot flow through altogether.
What is a material which does not allow electricity to pass through?
Such materials are called insulators. Examples include dry wood, ceramics, plastic. No material allows absolutely no electricity to pass through; the so-called insulators simply have a very high electrical resistance, so they only allow a small, usually insignificant, amount of current to pass.
What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?
Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.
If a material does not allow charges to move through it easliy what is it called?
static electricity
What do you call a material that does not let electricity pass through it?
A material that does not conduct (or allow the 'passage' of) electricity is called an "insulator".
What type of objects allow all light to pass through?
Objects that let all light through are called transparent objects, like glass windows. Objects that only let some light through are called translucent, like a lamp shade, or a curtain. Objects that don't let any light through are called opaque, like a desk.
What materials will not allow heat or electricity through?
electricity
What differentiates insulators and conductors?
insulators do not allow electricity to pass through them whereas conductors allow electricity to pass through them.
What materials allow electricity to pass through them?
All metals for example iron, copper, nickel. They are called conductors. Plastics and other elements do not, only metals. They allow electricity to pass through them because they have free electrons
What will not allow electricity to pass through it and keep something from losing heat?
No electricity
What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.
Does not electricity to move through it easily?
rubber would be an example of something that does not allow electricity to move through it easily
Which fruits do not allow electricity to pass through them?
banana
What do not allow light to pass through?
opaque objects
