The flow of electrons through a material is the movement of negatively charged electrons from an area of higher electric potential to an area of lower electric potential. This movement creates an electric current that can be harnessed for various applications, such as generating electricity in a conductor. The flow of electrons is driven by an electric field that exists due to a potential difference between two points in the material.
The term for the flow of electrons through the insulating material of a capacitor is called "dielectric breakdown."
Electrons do not readily flow through insulating materials, which have a high resistance to the flow of electric current due to their tightly bound electrons. Examples of insulating materials include rubber, plastic, and glass.

A material that allows electrons to flow easily through it is called a conductor. Examples include metals like copper, silver, and aluminum. Electrons in conductors are not tightly bound to atoms, allowing them to move freely in response to an electric field.

This might be a fundamental description of a semiconductor material.

An insulator is a material through which electrons do not easily flow. Insulators have a very high resistance.AnswerInsulators behave in the way they do because they contain insufficient numbers of charge curriers to support conduction. It has nothing to do with electrons being 'unable to flow easily'!
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
Simply put an conductor is a material that lets free electrons flow through it. When free electrons are flowing that is called current. So an electrical conductor will have current pass through. Non-conductive material will not allow these electrons to flow and no electricity can be passed through. Good conductors have almost no resistance to electron flow.
The presence of an insulating material, such as rubber or plastic, between the two conductors can prevent the flow of electrons. This material acts as a barrier that does not allow the electrons to pass through, thereby creating an electrical insulation.
