List the object that did not conduct electricity what would you call these?

Insulator


Why salt and vetsin can conduct electricity in a solution?

Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.


Are steel springs conductors or insulator?

Any metallic object has the ability to conduct electricity.


What term is used to describe substances that do not conduct?

If you are asking what it is called, it is called an insulator. If you are asking of an example one would be plastic


What is the movement of static electricity into an object called?

The movement of static electricity into an object is called "electrification" or "charging." This occurs when the excess charge is transferred from one object to another due to the presence of an electric field.


What test can you perform on an object to find out if it is a metal?

See if it will conduct electricity, and see if it can be flattened and stay flattened. Metals conduct electricity and heat, and are malleable. They also have a luster (shiny when polished) and are ductile- they can be drawn out like wire.


The name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?

Metals which have free valence electrons conduct electricity and heat. thus they are good conductors.


What is it called when you charge with electricity?

When you charge an object with electricity, it is called electrification. This process involves transferring electric charge to an object, leading to an accumulation of positive or negative charge.


Can an ice cube conduct an electric current?

No, ice cubes are poor conductors of electricity because they are made mostly of water, which is a non-conductive material. For an object to conduct electricity, it needs to have free-moving electrons, which ice does not possess.


What is it called when electric charge has accumulated on an object?

Static electricity .


What is electricity that does not flow called?

Electricity that does not flow is called static electricity. It is the accumulation of electric charge on an object's surface and it remains in one place until it is discharged.


What is the loss of static electricity called?

The loss of static electricity is called "discharge." This occurs when excess electric charge on an object is neutralized by transferring electrons to or from another object.
