A material that provides great resistance to the flow of electricity is called an insulator. Insulators have high electrical resistance and are commonly used to prevent the flow of electrical current in circuits. Examples of insulating materials include rubber, glass, and plastic.
What else can I help you with?
What component in an electrical circuit provides resistance?
The component in an electrical circuit that provides resistance is called a resistor.
What is it called when it's difficult for electricity to flow through a component?
When it's difficult for electricity to flow through a component, it is called resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms and is influenced by factors like the material the component is made of and its physical dimensions.
What is materials with low resistance called?
Materials with low resistance are called conductors. Conductors allow electricity to flow easily through them due to their low resistance. Metals such as copper and aluminum are examples of good conductors.
Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
What is a measure of an object's ability to transmit electricity.?
The measure of an object's ability to transmit electricity is called conductivity. It quantifies how easily an electric current can flow through a material. Materials with high conductivity, such as metals, allow electricity to pass through them with minimal resistance.
What does resistance depend on?
Resistance depends on the thickness and length of the wire used, as well as the conductor used. For example, a short, thick wire made of copper will conduct electricity better than a long, thin wire made of, say, iron.AnswerResistance is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (not 'thickness') of a material. Its constant of proportionality is called resistivity which is affected by temperature -so temperature indirectly affects resistance.
What component in an electrical circuit provides resistance?
The component in an electrical circuit that provides resistance is called a resistor.
What is the ability of substance to slow down the electricity?
The property of a substance enabling it to slow down electricity is called resistance and is measured in ohms. This ability is called electrical resistance. Every substance has this. Gold has the minimum resistance for electricity. Such substance is called electrical conductor. And there are substance where the electrical resistance is affected by heat, light and other conditions. And for those substance where electricity can not flow are called electrical insulators (non-conductors) such as wood and ceramics.
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What is the shortest path called which electricity takes?
Path of Least Resistance.
What is something called that means its hard for electricity to flow?
Resistance. Where as in an electrical circuit there are resistors that restrict the flow of electricity
What is it called when it's difficult for electricity to flow through a component?
When it's difficult for electricity to flow through a component, it is called resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms and is influenced by factors like the material the component is made of and its physical dimensions.
What is materials with low resistance called?
Materials with low resistance are called conductors. Conductors allow electricity to flow easily through them due to their low resistance. Metals such as copper and aluminum are examples of good conductors.
What is the characteristic of a material that hinders electron flow?
It is called resistance Good conductors have a bad resistance While bad conductors or insulators have good resistance against the flow of electricity
Resistance is measured in units called what?
Assuming the topic is Electricity, resistance is measured in Ohms. Symbol is the greek letter Omega (looks like a horseshoe.
What is the name of the power plant that provides electricity for your homes?
It is called a Central Utility Plant.
Is non woven fabric is eco friendly product while recognized by scientifically?
not eco friendly,petro chemical meterial,not recycle meterial,it is 100% chemical called poly propoline
