Of aluminium, silver, paper or copper, only (very dry) paper is an insulator - the thicker the better.

∙ 7y agoSince all common metallic substances are electrically conductive, that leaves one choice left that can be considered non-conductive or an electrical insulator.

How much electrical wiring is copper?
Copper holds a 92-percent market share of electrical wiring in building (8 percent aluminum).
What common metals are used for electrical wiring?
Copper and aluminum (or copper clad with aluminum) are often used in wiring. New aluminum connection is now limited to use service-connections by some electrical codes and can no longer be installed for branch circuit wiring.
The abbreviations COALR stands for?
Copper Aluminum Revised. These letters will appear on switches and electrical outlets where Aluminum wiring has been installed.
What is the opposite of a conductor?
The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.
Is a copper cooking pan an insulator?
No, a copper cooking pan is a conductor, not an insulator.
Is copper an example of good electrical insulator?
yes copper is a good eletrical insulator
Give an example of an electrical insulator and an electrical conductor in the house?
conductor-copper insulator-rubber
Are copper aluminum and gold examples of a conductor or insulator?
insulators
WHAT DOES A CONDUCTOR AND A INSULATOR MEAN?
An insulator is a material that prevents the passage of electricity. An example is the plastic insulating cover on electrical wires, A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow. An example is the copper wire used inside electrical cables.
Is a copper nail a conductor insulator?
Copper is a good electrical and thermal conductor.
What is the best insulator of electricity copper aluminum distilled water or tap water?
Distilled water is the best insulator for listed choices because it has no ion's in it.
Is brass a insulator of electricity?
it is a conductor but its electrical conductivity is only 28%as conducive as copper.
Why copper electrical wires need to be wrapped in plastic?
as plastic is a good insulator of electricity.
How much electrical wiring is copper?
Copper holds a 92-percent market share of electrical wiring in building (8 percent aluminum).
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 common metals are used for electrical wiring?
Copper and aluminum (or copper clad with aluminum) are often used in wiring. New aluminum connection is now limited to use service-connections by some electrical codes and can no longer be installed for branch circuit wiring.
Would a copper pipe work better a conductor or an insulator?
A copper pipe would work as a conductor because most metals like copper, they are well conductors. If you want to know an example of an insulator, you can say rubber is a good insulator.
