Ice is water in solid form. The atoms in water are constantly moving freely and quickly in the much space around it. When frozen, the atoms cool down causing them to slow down and stifffen up and turn into a solid. The loose atoms in a liquid allow electric current to pass through it easily. A block of ice will have tighter atoms not allowing it to pass throgh it as easily. and on top of that, the ice is literally freezing cold causing electric current to cool down.

Ice can conduct electricity, but not very well. Electricity is conducted by free ions in water. The ions come from dissolved salt and from electrons released by disintegrated water molecules. Unless the valence electrons are freed from the water molecules, they don't play a part. In ice, the ions don't travel easily, as they are locked into crystals.

When is a switch an insulator?
A switch is a device that can either be a conductor or an insulator. When the switch is off, it becomes an insulator and resists the flow of electricity.

What is the procedures for insulator ice?
The past tense of transplant is transplanted.
How does the layer of ice slows down the complete freezing of the water in the pond?

No, Ice is a good insulator and copper is a very good conductor
Why eskimos make double walled houses of blocks of ice?
Ice is readily available for them, and it is a good insulator.
Why are blocks of ice wrapped in thick jute cloth when they are transported?
The jute acts as an insulator and it slows the melting of the ice.
