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.
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 refers to the flow of electrons through a wire?
Electricity is the name given to the flow of electrons. Conventionally, the electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. An individual electron does not make the whole trip instantaneously - an electron moves on to an atom, which then has an excess of charge, and the spare electron is passed on to the next atom, and so on.electrons are charged particles and the flow of these electrons constitute electricity.
What is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
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.
The term conductivity refers to?
the conduction of electricity

What is the term for something electricity cannot flow through?
Insulator.
How does hydraulique electricity work?
When the water here is like a dam, water weight creates pressure on water depth. The term refers to the pressure of the hydraulic turbine driven generators and electricity is produced and run. The water flow of electricity is produced. Electricity can be generated from tidal water. Hydraulic fluid power is used.
What will not let electricity flow through it?
Diamonds don't. <<>> The term you are looking for is an insulator.
What is cash flow when referring to the accounting term?
The term cash flow is a loose term in accounting that refers to the amount of cash available over a fixed period of time. Subset terms include net cash flow and operating cash flow.
What does the term control flow refer to?
Control flow refers to the order in which instructions or statements of an imperative program are executed. This term is widely used in computer science.
The term reproductive isolation mechanism refers to?
a blockage of gene flow between populations
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
