Rubber is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity well because its molecular structure does not allow electrons to move freely. This property makes rubber useful for insulating electrical wires and preventing electrical currents from passing through.

Is a rubber duck an insulator or a conductor?

A rubber duck is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. Rubber is a non-conductive material, which means it does not allow electric current to flow through it easily.


Screwdriver handle conductor or insulator?

The metal part itself would be a conductor in theory but the handle would be an insulator as it is usually rubber or plastic.


IS A WOODEN STICK AN INSULATOR OR CONDUCTOR?

A wooden stick is considered an insulator because wood is a poor conductor of electricity. It does not allow electricity to flow easily through it like a conductor would.


Would a copper pipe work better a conductor or an insulator?

A copper pipe would work as a conductor because most metals like copper, they are well conductors. If you want to know an example of an insulator, you can say rubber is a good insulator.


Is a large Lego an insulator and conductor?

It is an insulator. I am learning it in my 4'th grade classroom. A lego is plastic so it is a insulator. Dry Wood, Rubber,and Paper are all some insulators you can start thinking of


Is a Fan a conductor or a insulator?

a insulator, because electrical cannot be transeverd.


Would a rubber band be a conductor or a insulator?

A rubber band is an insulator. Insulators do not conduct electricity well, which means they do not allow electric charges to flow easily through them. Rubber bands are made of non-conductive materials, such as rubber, which makes them good insulators.


Is an apple a conductor or insulator?

An apple would be considered an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. The high water content and lack of metals in an apple make it a poor conductor of electricity.


What is the opposite of a conductor?

The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.


Is a spoon a conductor or insulator?

A metal spoon would be a conductor, but a plastic one would be an insulator.🍴


Is a tooth pick a conductor or a insulator?

A tooth pick is an insulator. A conductor would be metal.


Would there still be a current if rubber tubing replaced a copper wire?

No, It would not still work because, Rubber isn't a conductor. Rubber is an insulator. Though if you put a copper wire there and put rubber around it there will still be a electrical current that flows through.
