Some common materials used as insulators for electrical wires include rubber, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and fiberglass. These materials have high resistance to electrical current and are able to withstand the heat and stress from the electricity flowing through the wire. Choosing the best insulating material depends on the specific application and the voltage requirements.

Would make the best insulator against the flow of electricity?

Materials with high electrical resistivity, such as rubber, glass, and plastic, make good insulators for preventing the flow of electricity. These materials have tightly bound electrons, which makes it difficult for electrical charge to move through them.

Does bakelite is a poorest insulator?

The poorest insulator would be the best conductor, which is one of the noble metals. Bakelite is a fairly good insulator, not too long ago electrical fittings were made from it.

Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?

Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.


Which material is best described as an insulator?

An electrical insulator is an object that's internal charges do not move freely. This makes it nearly impossible to conduct electricity. Some examples of insulators are, Styrofoam, most plastics paper, glass, and rubber.


Which is an example of a good insulator?

it depends what type of insulator youre talking about. wood is a good thermal insulator and rubber is a good electrical insulator A perfect vacuum is the best insulator.
