How does an insulator affect the flow of electricity?
It prevents the flow of electricity since they do not have mobile electrons or mobile ions to allow the flow of electricity.
What is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?
On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
Electricity is the flow of which subatomic particles?
Electricity is the flow of electrons across a conductor. A conductor can be many things, copper is one of the most efficient. Voltage is what moves the electrons. It works like the pressure that pushes water through a hose.
What kind of electricity is static electricity?
Charge (electrons) that do not flow.
What is the term for something electricity cannot flow through?
Insulator.
What will not let electricity flow through it?
Diamonds don't. <<>> The term you are looking for is an insulator.
What does the term voltage and current mean?
Voltage -the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in voltsCurrent - a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes"
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
How is the flow electricity of electricity mearsure?
flow of electricity is measured by an instrument galvanometer
How does an insulator affect the flow of electricity?
It prevents the flow of electricity since they do not have mobile electrons or mobile ions to allow the flow of electricity.
How can electricity flow?
Electricity dose not truly "flow", it is the exchange of electrons.
What current is in term of electricity?
Flow of electrons, the more there are the higher the current. Imagine water travelling through a pipe,.
Can electricity flow through metal?
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
What is the scientific name for something that stops the flow of electricity?
An insulator is a material that stops or reduces the flow of electricity.
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
