Electricity consists components that include an "electron". "Electrons" make the electrical device work. In order for an electron to "move" it must have a conductor. Copper, Aluminum and other metals are conductors. Imagine electrons like little bb's (from a bb gun), line up these bbs in a straw, the straw is the conductor, when you blow into the straw the bbs are pushed out the other end. Blowing into the straw is kind of like voltage. Voltage is differential. What really is happening is the electrons are moving though the conductor and into the electrical device and the conductors and semiconductors in it and are manipulated to make the device work and are then joined to the other working component of electricity which is called a "proton". Like a magnet where opposites attract, electrons are attracted to protons and flow to them.

What elements allow electricity to pass through?

Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does.

Something that will not let electricity flow through it?

Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.


Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?

On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
