Materials which usually prevent charges from flowing through a circuit. They can be forced to conduct electricity if the charges have enough energy, i.e. if the voltage is high enough. This is evident during a lightning storm when the air, normally a very good insulator, is turned into a conductor to allow the lightning bolt to travel through the air.
What else can I help you with?
What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.
What is an isulator?
Cotton is an isulator because it does not transfer electric charge easily:) :)
What is a science conductor?
A conductor is an object (usually a solid) that allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily by the process of conduction, which is a method of heat/electricity transfer in which heat/electricity travels through a solid material without actually causing movement of the medium. Copper, aluminium, and pretty much all metals are good conductors. Water is a conductor of electricity but an insulator of heat. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor, and absorbs heat/electricity rather than channeling it. Plastic is an insulator of both heat and electricity. Wood, styrofoam and vacuum (dead air, like in space) are also heat insulators.
What are materials that don't allow electrons to move through them easily?
Isolators.
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.
What is the word substance that do not allow the transfer of heat easily?
Insulator.
What do you call material that does not let heat through easily?
A insulator (a thermal insulator)
A material through which charges cannot flow easily?
called an insulator
Electrons do not move easily through?
Electrons do not move easily through insulators, as these materials have a high electrical resistance. This prevents the flow of electrical current, making insulators important for protecting against electric shocks and for insulating wires in electronic devices.
Material through which a current cannot pass or easily flow?
Insulator. Like wood.
Is PVC a conductor or insulator?
PVC is an insulator because it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
What is the name given to a substance that doesn't let electricity pass through it?
That substance is called an insulator. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity, which prevents the electricity from passing through them easily. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.
What material that does not allow heat to pass through it easily is an?
Insulator.
What is the difference between an insulator and a good conductor of heat?
An insulator is a material that does not allow heat to pass through easily, while a good conductor of heat is a material that allows heat to pass through easily. Insulators have low thermal conductivity, while good conductors have high thermal conductivity. Materials like rubber and wood are examples of insulators, while metals like copper and aluminum are good conductors of heat.
Is a marker a insulator or cunducter?
A marker is typically made of plastic, which is an insulator. Insulators do not allow electricity to flow through them easily, whereas conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily.
