Is an insulator is a substance through which energy travels easily?

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 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.
Electrons do not move easily through?
If an electric current doesn't pass easily through a substance, such a substance is said to be an INSULATOR.
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 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
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
Material through which a current cannot pass or easily flow?
Insulator. Like wood.
Does an insulator allow electricity to pass through it easily?
NO!!! The whole point of an insulator is to stop electric flow.
What is an isulator?
Cotton is an isulator because it does not transfer electric charge easily:) :)
What kind of electrons cant move through easily?
The answer 2 this ? is that it is the insulator because the definition is that an insulator is something that cannot move through that well.
What does not allow an electric current to pass through?
Any covalent substance (a substance that contains no metal elements) will not let electrons flow and with therefore not conduct electricity. Ionic substances do not carry electrical current either, except for when in a liquid form or in a solution, where ions are free to flow with their respective charges.
What are an insulator?
an insulator is something that doesn't conduct well because it doesn't let heat pass through it easily.
What are insulator's?
an insulator is something that doesn't conduct well because it doesn't let heat pass through it easily.
