Want this question answered?
Wood An insulator is a material that does not allow charges to move through it easily.
NO!!! The whole point of an insulator is to stop electric flow.
That would be an insulator. A few examples include paper, glass or Teflon.
An electric field has what are called lines of force that radiate outward from the electric charge that creates them. It is the "touch" or the interaction with these lines of force that allow an electric field to exert a force (an electrostatic force) on anything with an electric charge.A fundamental law of electrostatics is that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. A charge will have an electric field around it, and if another charge is nearby, the fields of the charges will interact. Like charges will "push" on each other, while opposite charges will "pull" on each other. It's the fields of the respective charges that interact to cause the effects we see.All electric charges have associated electric fields around them. It is possible to "see" the electric fields like we "see" gravimetric fields. Both forces can "reach across" space to interact with objects at a distance from the source of the force. The field lines (lines of force) carry the force outward and are the means by which interaction occurs.
Materials that do not allow electric currents to pass are called insulators.
I know that one is a Conductor

Conductors, such as metals.
Those are called insulators.
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
No. Wood is a poor conductor of electricity unless it is wet/saturated with water.
NO!!! The whole point of an insulator is to stop electric flow.
The difference between dielectric and insulator lies in its field of application.Dielectrics are used to store the electric charges, while insulators are used to block the flow of electric charges ( they more or less act like a wall).While all dielectrics are insulators (they don't allow the flow of electric charges through them) all insulators aren't dielectric because they can't store charges unlike dielectrics.
Electrical insulators. Plastics, glass, and rubber. Materials that composition consists of stable elements like Helium. Non-metal.If a material does not allow charges to move through it easily, what is it called?Insulators such as wood does not allow insulators to move through them very easily nor freely .Insulators do not allow electrical charges to flow easily through them. They are the opposite of a conductor which is good at letting molecules pass through it.A conductor like wire allows current to flow. All conductors have some resistance. Semi-conductors are what make up integrated circuits, diodes, transistors and many similar devices. They are typically used with much lower currents than you would see in household appliances, for example.

yes, the charges of the dissolved ions in solution allow for electrons to be transfered through water. Completely pure water actually is a decent insulator of electric current
