What is a substance that blocks the flow of heat or electricity?
Substances that block electrical flow are called insulators. Some examples are glass, ceramics and rubber
How does an insulator affect the flow of electricity?
It prevents the flow of electricity since they do not have mobile electrons or mobile ions to allow the flow of electricity.
What is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?
On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
What kind of electricity is static electricity?
Charge (electrons) that do not flow.
What is a substance that blocks the flow of heat or electricity?
Substances that block electrical flow are called insulators. Some examples are glass, ceramics and rubber
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
How is the flow electricity of electricity mearsure?
flow of electricity is measured by an instrument galvanometer
How does an insulator affect the flow of electricity?
It prevents the flow of electricity since they do not have mobile electrons or mobile ions to allow the flow of electricity.
How can electricity flow?
Electricity dose not truly "flow", it is the exchange of electrons.
What is the purpose of a diode in a cordless drill or power screw driver?
The purpose of a diode in a cordless drill or power screw driver is to allow electricity to flow in one direction only and blocks the flow in the opposite direction.
Can electricity flow through metal?
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
What elements allow electricity to pass through?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
What is the difference between a heat insulator and elctrical insulator?
an electrical insulator blocks the flow of electricity (like the rubber around power cords that stop you from getting electrecuted) and a heat insulator block the flow of heat (like a thermos)
What is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
