Rubber and wood are good electrical insulators because they don't let electricity pass through them.The best insulators in the world are uranium hexafluoride - used as the dielectric in UHV machines and also Barium Titanate [BaTiO(4)]

Better to say that they resist the flow of charge - rather than 'don't let electricity flow through them'.

An example of an electrical insulator is?

Rubber is an example of an electrical insulator. Rubber does not conduct electricity well because its electrons are tightly bound to the atoms, making it difficult for them to move freely and carry an electric current.


WHAT DOES A CONDUCTOR AND A INSULATOR MEAN?

An insulator is a material that prevents the passage of electricity. An example is the plastic insulating cover on electrical wires, A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow. An example is the copper wire used inside electrical cables.

What is an example of an insulator?

A2. Insulation is a process of separating one thing from another. Materials for this are called insulators. Commonly we may insulate against the transfer of Heat, Electricity, and Sound or vibration.An Electrical insulator could be glass. Or most plastics.A Heat insulator could be a vacuum, such as in a vacuum flask. Or a loose material such as fibreglass wool.A Sound insulator is normally something of massive properties, such as gypsum wallboard, or concrete.The plastic covering on wire is a perfect example of an insulator.
