Can electrons move freely in an insulator?
No. That's why it's an insulator.
What kind of material has a high resistivity and prevents the movement of electrons?
An insulator
What is material that will not release electrons nor allow free electrons to pass?
Insulator
Does an insulator allow the flow of electrons?
Yes . Some insulators do allow the flow of electrons but most do not.
In a good insulator electrons are usually?
tightly bound in place.
Can electrons move freely in an insulator?
No. That's why it's an insulator.
Is the plastic or rubber around copper an insulator because it allows the flow of electrons?
No, it is an insulator because it DOES NOT allow the flow of electrons.
What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
A material that has a high resistance to the flow of electrons is an insulator.
Is glass insulator or conductor?
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
What kind of material has a high resistivity and prevents the movement of electrons?
An insulator
Is a glass tube a insulator or conductor?
It is a insulator. The glass does not have free electrons to flow as current, and the air in the tube is also an insulator.
Is a glass tube a conductor or a insulator?
It is a insulator. The glass does not have free electrons to flow as current, and the air in the tube is also an insulator.
A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
What is material that will not release electrons nor allow free electrons to pass?
Insulator
Is a rubber band insulator or conductor?
A rubber band is an insulator as it does not allow electrons to pss through it
Is cardboard a bad insulator?
Card board does not have free electrons electrons to transmit charge
Is plastic or rubber around copper wires an insulator because it allows the flow of electron?
No, it is an insulator because it DOES NOT allow the flow of electrons.
