A perfect insulator (which does not really exist) would have an infinitely high resistance. Good insulators provide very high resistance to current flow, on the order of tens of megohms and up.

Why is copper not a good insulator for a metal wire?

Copper is not a good insulator because it is a conductor of electricity, allowing electric current to flow through it easily. Insulators, on the other hand, have high resistance to the flow of electricity. This is why copper is commonly used as a conductor in electric wires instead of an insulator.

Butyl rubber is an insulator, popular in covering wire.


What type of paper is the best insulator of heat?

Don't know if it is the best but Newspaper is a very good insulator and generally easy and cheap or free to get. Cardboard is alo very good.


Which type of matter is the best insulator?

Styrofoam is the best material to use as an insulator. Styrofoam is the best insulator, since the temperature of the water in the styrofoam glass decreased the least. If you mean what "state" of matter is the best insulator then you're probably looking for gas as the answer. The state of matter that is best as a thermal insulator is gas.


Is a plastic comb a conductor or insulator?

Plastic is generally an insulator, so a plastic comb cannot carry energy.

yes, its an insulator. its a type of insulator used for wires, cables, etc


Does plexiglass insulate better than wood?

Plexiglass is a poor insulator compared to wood. Wood is a natural insulator due to its cellular structure and higher density. Plexiglass, being a type of plastic, has lower thermal resistance properties and therefore is not as effective in insulation.
