Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.

Comment

Insulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.

Who oppose the flow of eletricity current in resistance?

Opposition to the flow of electric current in a resistance is caused by the collisions of the electrons with the atoms in the material. This interaction converts some of the electrical energy into heat, leading to a loss of energy through the resistance.

Why capacitor oppose change in voltage and allows current to flow?

Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.


What is capacitance?

Theoretically, Capacitance is defined as the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. Mathematically, it is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.
