How is an insulator used in a circuit?
An insulator is used to protect people from being electrocuted by the live wire. Most commonly used insulators are plastic or rubber.
How is electrisity stoped by rubber?
Any dry material that is an insulator is normally a poor conductor of electricity and that is the reason, if it is used in the right way, it can help to stop you from getting an electric shock. By itself rubber doesn't stop you from getting a shock or from being electrocuted. Just having some rubber in your pocket or having some rubber somewhere in the room with you will not stop you from killing yourself if you touch a high voltage wire. That is not a joke. Kids and adults have killed themselves because they did not really know what they were doing. Electric power is really dangerous and should never ever be played with.Dry rubber is normally a good insulator so wearing dry rubber gloves and dry rubber-soled shoes can help to protect you if you have to work with electric power but any experienced electrician will tell you this: Because electricity is so dangerous you must go to school to learn how to work safely with electricity - and pass the necessary exams - before you try to fix anything that plugs into receptacles or sockets in your home, in your school or anywhere else.
What do electricians wear?

What material is the poorest conductor of electricity?
Rubber compound is one of the poorer conductors of electricity. That is why rubber tape is used in both high and low voltage splices.

What happens when your car gets electrocuted?
My guess would be nothing...It has rubber tires on it.
Can you get struck by lightning while holding something rubber?
Yes,the insluating effects of rubber are not high enough to protect you from lightning
Why doesnt a bird standing on a high voltage wire get electrocuted?
The wires are coated in rubber.
Why is rubber a good insulator?
It can't conduct electricity or heat so you can't get electrocuted.
Why should an electrician wear rubber gloves while repairing electric switch?
Because electricity does not pass through rubber. So they can not get electrocuted.
Will rubber stop you from getting electracutited?
no it will not stop you from getting electrocuted, unless the rubber touches what ever it is first. Friction gives you electric shocks.
How can rubber ducks explode?
This is kind of silly, but it answers the question. A rubber duck can explode when you: -Put a grenade in it and throw it -Launch it up in a barrage of fireworks -Put it beside dynamite and set it off -Put a mine in the ground and aim the rubber duck at that point -Cover it in gasoline and set it on fire But you would never do something like that because these are all dangerous and something you could never do, because rubber ducks are adorable.
