The insulator keeps the electrode in the center of the plug from contacting the engine block on the outside. if the insulator wasnt there, the plug would have no spark because all the coil energy would go straight to the ground on the circuit, the engine block

Why is the mass of the outer shell of the calorimeter and the insulating ring not included in the data?
You are assuming that the insulator is perfect, and therefore none of the heat is absorbed by the insulator, and no heat makes it through the insulator into the outer ring.
Why is plastic good to be used?
Plastic is a good insulator. ex. It is used as a casing (outer part of the plug). This prevents us from getting electric shocks when we touch switches.
What is the purpose of the outer jacket on fractionating column?
The outer jacket act as an insulator.
Is an electrical plug an insulator?
An electrical plug contains both conducting and insulating elements.
The insulator of a typical spark plug is made of?
Porcelain
Is a TV a insulator or conductor?
It is upto you which part are you touching. Mainly the outer body of TV is insulator but it contains many conductor parts.
When a molecule that has 5 electrons in its outer shell would make a good?
Insulator.
Why the plasic helps to make the plug safe?
That is because the plastic acts as an insulator.
What is the purpose of the outer jacket on a fractionating column?
The outer jacket on a fractionating column is used to insulate against heat loss from the inner jacket during distillation.
If the outer electrons of the atom of substance are held tightly to the atom you would expect that substance would be .?
an insulator
Why are the plug sockets covers made of plastic?
Because plastic is a good insulator from heat & electricity.
What are the examples of insulator and conductor?
The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals. Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.
