What are materials that do not let electricity pass through them called?
Insulators
What are materials called that do not alllow electricity to flow through them?
nonconductors
What is the materials called through which heat and electricity flow poorly?
insulators...
What are the materials that can let electricity pass through?
Generically they are called conductors.
Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
The process of passing electricity through water to chemically separate it into hydrogen and oxygen is call?
It is called electrolysis.
Material that allows electricity to pass through it easily?
Metallic conductors such as copper, aluminum, silver and gold are some examples of materials through which heat and electricity can easily flow.
What is purifying of metals by passing electricity called?
electroplating
What is the difference between conduct and insulate?
Insulation is keeping the heat inside, trapping it and not letting out. Conduction is letting a flow, such as electricity, pass through the material. for example, metal is a wonderful conductor of heat and electricity, but a bad insulator. However, wool is a good insulator and a bad conductor. :) hope that helps!
Materials that discourage the flow of electricity?
In electronics terms this is called a non-conductor or materials that have a high dialectric value. Also these materials may be called insulators. They may consist of plastic,glass,paper,mica,wax which are among the most common in electronics. The dialectric value is determined by how well electricity can or cannot pass through each of these materials.
What are materials that are poor conductors of electricity called?
They are insulators.
What is the ability called when heat or electricity passes through?
Conductor Some materials are conductors of Heat OR Electricity. But the property is not the same for one material; example glass is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity.
