This might be a fundamental description of a semiconductor material.
conductor
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
An insulator or a dielectric.AnswerInsulators behave in the way they do because they contain insufficient numbers of charge carriers to support conduction. It has nothing to do with electrons being 'unable to flow easily'!
Electrical resistance is just that: obstruction to the flow of electrons, which are (generally speaking) electric current. Electrons are what orbit the nucleus of an atom. You can force them out of their various orbital shells by using the proper voltage. Many non-conductive materials are not suitable for electron flow because they have a high resistance, e.g. glass. But if you send enough voltage through materials with high resistance the electrons will arc through the air across the top of the material. Note: You can, with a high enough voltage applied in a particular manner, cause the material itself to "fail" and conduct electricity. The high voltage will destroy the material when it ionizes the atoms within it. We can generate voltages high enough to punch through anything. Almost anything metallic is a good material for an electron to go through. In general, metals are good conductors of electricity. They have a low resistance.
Resistors and semi-conductors. As electrons travel through these less conductive substances they collide with more atoms, typically converting some of their energy to heat and light. Consider a common light bulb - the tungsten filament is a simple resistor - the tungsten atoms partially block the electrons traveling through, converting their energy to light and some heat.
The material that electrons do not readily flow through in the electrical trade is classed an an insulator.
Generally speaking, a material that does not let electrons travel through it, a material that has a very high resistance to electron flow (electric current), is called an insulator.
