Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.
An example of a good insulator of electricity would be rubber. An insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity and as such offers protection from direct electric current.
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
a pencil eraser is a conductor .
No; an insulator by definition does not conduct electricity. We use these to protect ourselves from electricity, like the rubber in rubber gloves. Conductors, in contrast, are good...uh, conductors of electricity.
A rubber band is an insulator as it does not allow electrons to pss through it
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
Insulator
A rubber tube is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. Rubber is an electrical insulator due to its high resistance to the flow of electric current.

A rubber duck is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. Rubber is a non-conductive material, so it does not allow the flow of electric current through it.
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
rubber doesn't conduct electricity,it is an insulator because it doesn't have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Rubber is an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity. Therefore, electricity cannot pass through a rubber eraser.
Items like balloons, certain fabrics (like wool and synthetic materials), plastic, and rubber are commonly known to attract static electricity due to their ability to hold onto or transfer electrons easily.
