An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity. More specifically, it is a material that is chosen to prevent electricity passing from one point to another. Typical examples are the plastic covering on cables, plastic cases around electronic circuits and the body of circuit boards which support copper tracks but keep them isolated from each other.

Which type of matter is the best insulator?
Styrofoam is the best material to use as an insulator. Styrofoam is the best insulator, since the temperature of the water in the styrofoam glass decreased the least.
