Objects that stop the flow of electricity are good insulators what materials would be the best insulator for an electrical wire?
Plastic Tubing.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of electrons?
Electrons are part of an atom, in elements etc. Electrodes are types of medical equipment places on certain parts of your body, that send electrical pulses to your muscles to stimulate them.
What does insulator mean?
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.
Why is copper a good insulator?
Answer 1Copper [CU] is NOT A GOOD INSULATOR. On the contrary, it is a very excellent conductor of both electricity AND heat! Answer 2Glass, some kinds of rubber, most plastics, vinyl. Most materials are SOMEWHAT conductive and act differently at different temperatures. PURE glass is one of the best insulators. Answer 3If copper was to be a bad conductor..then copper vessels and cables wodn exist,,it s a very good conuctorof heat and electricity
