It stops the flow of the electrical current.
current is the flow of charge.
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
An increase in an electrical current will cause magnetism to increase but a decrease in an electrical current will cause magnetism to decrease.
capacitors
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Anything that doesn't allow current is an insulator
Nylon is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. It has high electrical resistance, which prevents the flow of electrical current through it.
A plastic bottle is an electrical insulator because it does not conduct electricity. It is made of non-metallic materials that do not allow the flow of electrical current through them.

Pine is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity due to its high resistance to the flow of electrical current.
The opposite of an insulator in physics is a conductor. Conductors allow electrical current to flow easily, while insulators inhibit the flow of current.
A piece of chalk is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity due to its high resistance to the flow of electrical current.
Rice is an insulator as it does not conduct electricity. Its high resistance to electrical current prevents the flow of electricity through it.
The conductor carries the electrical current while the insulator prevents the current from leaking out and causing electric shocks or fires. Both components are necessary for the safe and efficient transmission of electricity.
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.
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
Glass is an electrical insulator. But glass more readily conducts heat.
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. Insulators only prevent the flow of electrons (current). Glass is a very good insulator.
