What is the difference between isolator and circulator?
Isolator is something which blocks current or heat. Where as Circulator is something through which heat and electricity can pass.
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.
What is the difference between a complete and incomplete circuit?
In the simplest form; The difference between a complete and incopmlete circuit is... Complete means that electricity CAN and WILL flow through it where as with an incomplete circuit does not have the ability to conduct current is broken... Here is an example. -----/----- Incomplete cicuit, something preventing electricity to flow ----------- complete circuit, electricity can flow.
How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.
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.
Can freshwater passes electricity?
No, no ions so cannot pass electricity
What do you call something that allows heat or electricity to pass through it?
A material that allows heat or electricity to pass through it is called a conductor. The opposite of that is called an insulator. For electricity, the wire inside is the conductor, while the plastic on the outside is an insulator.
What is a Poor conductor in science?
Something very different from what it means in music. In science it means a substance through which electricity cannot easily pass.
What will not allow electricity to pass through it and keep something from losing heat?
No electricity
Name the item that electricity cannot pass through?
Rubber.
What do you call a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it?
An electrical "insulator".
What is elctrical circuit?
Something where electricity can pass all the way round it.
What is an elctric circuit?
Something where electricity can pass all the way round it.
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 color does argon make when it passes threw electricity?
Argon is a gas and matter cannot pass through (threw?) electricity.
Can electricity flow without a battery?
i think current cannot pass without battery.
How can something conduct electricity?
Items conduct electricity by lining up their atoms. much like how things get magnetized. if the atoms line up then electricity can pass between them using them like a bridge. some items, however, cannot line their atoms up (like wood)
