What materials make the best conductors and insulators?
Conductors- Most types of metal. Copper and Aluminium are used these days. Silver is a very good conductor but it is expensive. Insulators- rubber, plastic and wood are good insulators in the solid state.
What are three good insulators of heat?
Three good insulators of heat are, maybe plastic, wood and glass! That's all I can think of right now but plastic and wood are very good insulators (etc. used of saucepan handles)
Why current cannot pass through a insulator?
Insulators are made of non conductive materials and that is the point. Insulators are used to prevent electrical current from leaving the circuit being utilized.
What is the part of speech for insulators?
Insulators is a plural noun.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
What physical property is used to make electric plug cover?
insulators.
What are some ways rubber and plastic are used as electrical and thermal insulators?
Plastic and rubber are used to cover electrical cords on most commonly used household electrical devices. You can also find rubber covers under the hood of your car that are used as thermal insulators.

Are insulators Gasoline engines and diesel engines?
no, insulators protect the wiring, or contain heat from some source or another, or block electricity from flowing
What are large white buttons fixed to electricity wires in home?
They are insulators which provide support for the wiring. This type of wiring is known as "knob and tubing"
Are bad conductors of electricity used to cover electrical wires?
No, materials with a high insulation value factor are used to cover electrical wire to provide a barrier from the wire shorting out to ground. By using the term "bad conductors" states that there is conductivity to a degree.
What type of wiring is considered as old wiring?
Old wiring refers to electrical wiring systems that were commonly used many decades ago. This includes aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, and cloth-covered wiring. These types of wiring may not meet current electrical safety standards and can pose a higher risk of electrical problems or safety hazards in homes and buildings.
How do electrical insulators help people?
The insulator I refer here is the insulation on the wiring and this helps any in not passing current through them
How do insulators keep you safe?
insulators or insulation does not permit electricity to flow through you.
What is electrical NM cable?
type nm means non- metallic cover. it is the standard wiring used in housing nowadays.
What are insulators in brief?
Insulators are things that are poor conductors of heat and electricity. In electrical terms, an insulator is what keeps wires from shorting out, prevents electric fires, and prevents electric shock. That way, the electricity stays in the wiring and doesn't go elsewhere.
What is common example of an insolator?
Rubber is probably the most common you'll see for protective gear. Certain polymers are used for wiring insulation, but really most things that are derived mostly from nonmetal elements are excellent insulators.
What is the function of arching horns in the insulators?
These horns are used to protect the bushing on transformers. The horns also form a sparking gap for the insulators.
