  • Insulators: Understanding Electrical Resistance and Common Examples
    A material which electrons do not travel through easily is called an insulator.

    Here's why:

    * Insulators have tightly bound electrons. These electrons are difficult to dislodge from their atoms, making it difficult for them to carry an electrical current.

    * Conductors, on the other hand, have loosely bound electrons that can easily move, allowing for the flow of electricity.

    Some common examples of insulators include:

    * Rubber

    * Glass

    * Plastic

    * Wood

    * Air
