It protects us from electric shocks.
an insulator
An insulator.
Insulator
Well, if you have a functioning (=closed) circuit, and introduce an unknown object, then if the circuit is still functioning (=closed) then the object is a conductor. If it stops working, then it's either an insulator or an very poor conductor.
No paper is an insulator.
If an insulator with a lamp is connected in an electrical circuit and the switch is turned on, the lamp will not light up. Insulators do not allow the flow of electric current, so the circuit will not be completed, and no electricity will reach the lamp to cause it to light up.
Yes, depending on how you build it.
Connect your material to the gap of the open circuit and see if the load(e.g bulb) works, if it does then the material is a conductor and if it doesn't then it's an insulator
A switch uses an insulator called an "air gap" to cut off the current flow in a circuit. When the switch is turned off, it creates a physical break in the circuit, preventing electricity from passing through.
An insulator is used to protect people from being electrocuted by the live wire. Most commonly used insulators are plastic or rubber.

the circuit would not be complete. the lightbulb would not light or the buzzer would not buzz
