They are good at not transferring the electrons from the wires to their atoms. They dont pass them on because their atoms are stable and don't need any.

What are insulations from electricity?
Electricity insulation is a large group of materials which do not conduct electricity. Those materials are used to protect us from electricity. Rubber, plastics, ceramics are only some of the different types of materials which are good insulators.
What is the name of materials that are not good conductors of electricity?
They are called insulators. Rubber is an example of a good electrical insulator.More:PlasticGlassAirWoodCeramicPorcelainPaperVarnishMineral OilSlateMarblePolyethyleneSiliconePVCKaptonTeflon
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
What can not carry electric current easily?
Electrical insulators. Materials such as rubber, plastic, wood, air and some ceramics are all poor conductors of electricity, or good insulators.
What carries electric current not easily?
Electrical insulators. Materials such as rubber, plastic, wood, air and some ceramics are all poor conductors of electricity, or good insulators.
Why are electricity poles made of materials that are insulators?
The electricity travels through cables not the actual pole. The cables are coated with a insulating material to protect them and you! You are correct. I am explaining the difference in the poles themselves and the fact that they are not good insulators, and the fact that they have insulators on them to separate them from the power lines. 2TeaParty_man
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
Name two other materials that are poor conductors of electricity and might make good insulators?
plastic, glass and rubber
Objects that stop the flow of electricity are good insulators what materials would be the best insulator for an electrical wire?
Plastic Tubing.
