Simple - we just look at the meaning of electrical current.

Electrical current is the movement of billions of tiny electrons moving along a conductor, like a wire, for instance. In order to move, these electron have to be 'pushed' by a force that we call EMF or just Volts. The electrons are also 'pulled' from the other side by Volts, as well. Electrical current will not move unless it is both pulled and pushed, which requires a complete, unbroken loop of some kind of conductor. If you break that loop, called a 'circuit', then no current can flow.

Why cant electricity pass through insulators?

Electricity cannot pass through insulators because they have high electrical resistance, which hinders the flow of electric current. Insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move freely, preventing the conduction of electricity. This property makes insulators useful for protecting against electric shocks and for insulating electrical wires.


How does magnetic force works?

The magnetic forces from the North and South pole send magnetic forces around the earth, that's why on a magnet you cant stick North and North or South and South, They have the same magnetic force


What material cant be bent or broken easily?

Diamond is a material that cannot be easily bent or broken due to its exceptional hardness and structure. Its atomic arrangement makes it one of the hardest known natural materials, allowing it to withstand significant force and pressure without deforming or breaking.


Why TEM wave cannot propagate thorough a rectangular waveguide?

TEM modes (Transverse ElectroMagnetic) have no electric nor magnetic field in the direction of propagation. In hollow waveguides (single conductor), TEM waves are not possible, since Maxwell's Equations will give that the electric field must then have zero divergence and zero curl and be equal to zero at boundaries, resulting in a zero field.

What materials do not allow electricity to flow easily?

Materials that do not allow electricity to flow easily are called insulators. Common examples include rubber, glass, plastic, and ceramic. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electric current, preventing the movement of electrons.
