What is the ability of substance to slow down the electricity?
The property of a substance enabling it to slow down electricity is called resistance and is measured in ohms. This ability is called electrical resistance. Every substance has this. Gold has the minimum resistance for electricity. Such substance is called electrical conductor. And there are substance where the electrical resistance is affected by heat, light and other conditions. And for those substance where electricity can not flow are called electrical insulators (non-conductors) such as wood and ceramics.
A substance that carries an electric current when dissolved in water is called?
Electrolyte

A substance that can conduct electricity and can be stretched in to copper wires are called what?
Quartz.
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.
